Our cricketing hero looks tinglingly fresh, in spite of a hard day of practice. Casual, relaxed and a lot of fun. That8217;s Ajay jadeja, for you!

He8217;s disarmingly frank when he says, 8220;health means that every part of your body should be functioning properly, for if you have a cold and feel yucky then it doesn8217;t help if you are muscular does it?8221;

Having said that he furthur adds, 8220; my passions are cricket, golf, food and sleep 8211; especially sleeping.8221;

Then he talks about food, quot;My Australian trainer was after my life to eat only the nutritious oil-free stuff, but I used to go to my room and order all the things I love,8221; Ajay recounts, quot;cold coffee with ice-cream, Indian sweets and chocolates!8221; Is he really so carefree? quot;Of course I do have warm water and fruit in the morning, but the rest of the day I eat what tastes and looks good.8221;

Ajay says happily. I almost conclude that our hero is one big slob, till he pops this one on me, quot;I believe in working out all the extra food that I eat and I train rigorously-twice as hard as anybody else.quot;

Swimming, jogging, squash and a focussed exercise routine are what keep him in peak form.8220;I don8217;t believe in working out in an air conditioned gym,8221; says Ajay. quot;I would rather jog outdoors so as to build up the stamina and resistance that is needed for the long hours on the cricket field.

quot;I also believe in the benefits of massage and steam,8221; Ajay points out. quot;The therapeutic benefits of massage are well-known. It relaxes my muscles after a long hard day of cricket. Even the hot steam followed by a chilled shower revs up the blood circulation and works as an instant energiser.
