Ravindra Jadeja earns praises for padding up despite dislocated thumb

Injured Ravindra Jadeja was seen padding up when the cameraman caught a glimpse of the Indian dressing room.

Day 5 of the Pink Test between India and Australia has seen the Indian contingent suffer from injury vowes at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Due to various issues such as players leaving the team for personal reasons, injuries and bad form, the middle order for the Men in Blue has been struggling. While Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara made sure to reduce the winning distance, the job is still difficult for the tailenders.

Hanuma Vihari and R Ashwin are on the crease and trying to reach the ultimate goal slowly, the cameraman caught a glimpse of the Indian dressing room, where injured Ravindra Jadeja was seen padding up.

As soon as the clip went viral, Indian social media erupted with respect for the cricketer's commitment towards his team.

Jaddu who came out of a hamstring injury to play the third Test had got injured again during the first innings of the Sydney Test. A blistering ball from Mitchell Starc hit Jadeja’s left thumb that lead the cricketer to be under immense pain.

It was later confirmed that he'd suffered a dislocation in his thumb and was doubtful to play further during the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
