Ravindra Jadeja advised debutant Saransh Jain to treat his Test debut like a First-Class match and not take pressure, as the 33-year-old all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh became the 320th player to represent India in Tests on Sunday. Jadeja gave Jain his Test cap ahead of the second match against Sri Lanka in Colombo.
Jadeja told Jain in a BCCI video that his consistent performances in domestic cricket and for India A had earned him the opportunity. "Enjoy this moment instead of taking pressure," Jadeja said, adding that Jain should play as he would in any First-Class match with the support of his teammates.
Jain, who replaced Kuldeep Yadav in the eleven, said receiving the cap from a fellow all-rounder was fitting and dedicated his journey to his father who inspired him to play cricket. Both sources report the same details from the BCCI video.
