Ravi Shastri is trolled by Twitteratis after Jadeja injury claims

Ravi Shastri and Ravindra Jadeja

the Indian coach Ravi Shastri has been taken to task by users on the micro-blogging site Twitter for elaborating on Ravindra Jadeja's fitness status, which served as a justification for the all-rounder's absence from the Indian playing XI for the Perth Test against Australia. When asked about Jadeja's exclusion, Ravi Shastri had said, "Jadeja had taken an injection four days after coming to Australia because of some stiffness in his shoulder.
