Ajay Jadeja – He’s back after a 6-year-break from cricket

Ad

Jadeja was a popular name even before ‘Sir’ came around, and after a 6-year hiatus following his 5-year-ban in 2000 for involvement in match-fixing, the hero-turned-villain Ajay Jadeja will be playing a first-class match for the first time since 2007.

He has been appointed the coach and captain of the Haryana side this season and the 42-year-old will be expected to help the youngsters in the side.

He played in the Buchi Babu tournament last year and with 8046 first-class runs under his belt, would be playing against his former team-mate Sachin Tendulkar on the opening day of Ranji Trophy.

Jadeja’s skills may not be the same level as before, but it’ll be interesting to see how he steers Haryana in the Ranji Trophy.
