"Was Bowling 10-12 Hours...": Jadeja After 5-wicket Haul Against Australia
After bagging a fifer on his comeback Test match, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja talked about his recovery process and said he was bowling 10-12 hours every day at National Cricket Academy (NCA) which helped him a lot to get back his form and rhythm. Jadeja celebrated his comeback to Test cricket after a five-month layoff with five wickets against Australia. His 5/47 helped India bowl out the visitors for 177. Captain Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 56 has put the hosts in a dominant position against visitors at the end of Day 1 in the first Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Thursday.
Jadeja said that in order to be fit for Test match, he would bowl nonstop hours at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangaluru throughout his rehabilitation.
"Being a left-arm spinner, if you get batter out caught behind or stumped, you always give credit to the ball. In Test match cricket, whatever wicket you take, you are happy with that. I was working hard on my bowling when I was in Bangalore at the NCA. I was bowling 10-12 hours every day and that helped me a lot. I was working on my rhythm because I knew that I have to play Test match and I have to bowl long spells," Jadeja said in a post-match presentation.
"Very happy with the way I was bowling. I was enjoying my bowling. Playing after five months, playing Test cricket, it's tough. I was prepared for it and I was working hard on my fitness as well as on my skills at NCA. I played a first-class game (Ranji) after a long time and I bowled almost 42 overs. It gave me a lot of confidence to come here and play a Test match. There was no bounce in the wicket, I was targeting the stump-to-stump line. The odd ball was spinning and the odd ball was going straight," he added.
This was the 34-year-old left-arm spinner's fourth five-wicket haul against the tourists and his eleventh five-for in Test cricket.
Steve Smith was one of his victims. He was struck by a ripsnorter that got into batter's stumps. He then went on to claim four more of top-six Australia batters.

Retaining Staff Boosts Revenue, Remote Working Major Pull For Employees
At a time when layoffs by global tech firms are grabbing headlines every other day, a new report suggests that retaining employees will help companies grow their revenue and profits.
Infosys Knowledge Institute's report The Future Of Work, 2023 says companies that increased their (employee) retention over the last three years saw a 75 per cent growth in revenue and 77 per cent profit. This is at least 17-18 percentage points higher than for those that decreased their employee retention.
"In the current market environment, growth is clearly linked to staff retention," the report says.
The major factor helping in staff retention is remote working for employees, says the study. At least 65 per cent of senior executives say they are increasing remote working to attract or retain talent.
Successful businesses of the future are likely to focus less on the employees' work location, says the report, adding they will focus on the diversity of employee pool and how well they are supported.
In addition, wellness initiatives, home office stipends, and reskilling programmes are likely to improve staff retention.
Nearly 2,500 senior executives and managers working in companies with over $1 billion in revenue across the US, the UK, France, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand have been interviewed for the report.
Key To Improving Revenue, Profits
The report also notes that automation, diversity in talent pool, and reskilling can help large companies generate up to $1.4 trillion in revenue and $282 billion in profits. To put that in another way: they can help add 7.7 percentage points to profit growth and 6.7 percentage points to revenue growth.
According to the report, full automation can help such companies earn $808 billion in incremental revenues and $123 billion in incremental pre-tax profits.
Hiring a diverse talent pool can help these companies improve their revenue by $503 billion and pre-tax profit by $145 billion.
"In the case of reskilling, the better you are at training, the better your growth. Focusing on hiring a wider range of skillsets, and using training effectively to give them the skills they need, is linked to faster growth and competitiveness," the report says.
