Ravindra Jadeja was named Player of the Match in Rajkot Test for his 112 and seven wickets.
Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was recently in the headlines for family drama after his father criticized his wife in an interview, sparking a family dispute. However, Jadeja responded by calling the interview 'dubious' but refused to elaborate further.
Well, on the field, Jadeja turned out to be a hero for Team India, as the senior star delivered an excellent performance both with the bat and ball to help the hosts record a 434-run win over England in the third Test at his home ground in Rajkot.
The spin all-rounder scalped seven wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings, and smashed a very crucial century in the first innings to play a key role in India’s massive win, which saw the hosts take a 2-1 lead in the ongoing five-match Test series against England.
Jadeja was adjudged Player of the Match for his stunning all-round show in Rajkot, and the dotting husband dedicated the accolade to his wife, Rivaba.
In a video posted by the BCCI, Jadeja expressed gratitude for his wife's relentless support behind the scenes, which helps him to excel on the field.
Ravindra Jadeja said in a video: “It is a special feeling to take a 5-wicket haul in the second innings. And that too, a hundred and a 5-wicket haul in the same Test is special.”
He added, “This is a special Man of the Match at my home ground. I would like to dedicate this award to my wife. She has been working hard behind the scenes, mentally. She always gives me confidence.”
