In a recent interview, Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma recalled an incident during the 2013 Champions Trophy when he felt like punching Ravindra Jadeja.

The incident happened during the warm-up match against South Africa. Sharma was batting when Jadeja came on to bowl. Sharma tried to hit a shot, but the ball went straight into the air. Jadeja ran after the ball, but he didn’t see a cheetah that was standing behind him.

The cheetah started to chase Jadeja, and Sharma was terrified. He thought that the cheetah was going to attack Jadeja, and he felt like punching Jadeja for putting himself in danger.

Luckily, Jadeja managed to avoid the cheetah and catch the ball. The incident didn’t result in any injuries, but it certainly scared Sharma.

How the Incident Could Have Been Avoided

There are a few things that could have been done to avoid this incident. First, Jadeja should have been more aware of his surroundings. He should have looked behind him before running after the ball.

Second, the fielders should have been more vocal. They should have shouted at Jadeja to warn him about the cheetah.

Third, the ground staff should have taken steps to prevent cheetahs from entering the stadium. They could have installed fences or used other methods to keep the cheetahs away.

The Importance of Safety

This incident is a reminder of the importance of safety. When playing cricket, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to take steps to avoid dangerous situations.

Cricketers should also be aware of the dangers of wild animals. If you see a wild animal, do not approach it. Instead, report it to the ground staff or other authorities.

Conclusion

This incident was a scary experience for Rohit Sharma, but it is important to remember that it could have been much worse. By being more aware of their surroundings and taking steps to avoid dangerous situations, cricketers can help to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.thumb_upthumb_downuploadmore_vert
