Ravindra Jadeja taken to hospital for scans on knee injury

Ravindra Jadeja

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was on Saturday taken to a hospital in Leeds for precautionary scans to know the extent of a knee injury he sustained during the third Test against England.

Jadeja, who has played all the three Test matches, apparently hurt his knee while fielding during the England innings on the second day of the match that India lost by an innings and 76 runs.

Jadeja Instagrammed a picture of himself, wearing hospital apparels, with a caption, "Not a good place to be at." The Indian team is supposed to leave for London on August 30 and if the scan reports do not reveal anything major, Jadeja will accompany the team.

The fourth Test starts on September 2 at the Oval and there is a possibility of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin replacing Jadeja on a track which is known to offer help to the slow bowlers.
