Rajasthan Royals, Ravindra Jadeja: Ravindra Jadeja's wife had told her husband a day before that he was going to be the hero of the next match of Rajasthan Royals. He will do wonders in that. It happened exactly the same. Rajasthan Royals won the match played on March 22 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and Ravindra Jadeja became the hero of the match as per his wife's advice. That too while doing wonders with both bat and ball. When what his wife said came true, how could Tojadeja not thank her? He did this work publicly and also told the whole story.

Ravindra Jadeja's wife is the education minister of Gujarat.

Ravindra Jadeja's wife's name is Rivaba Jadeja, who is associated with politics. Rivaba Jadeja is currently the Education Minister of Gujarat. When Rajasthan Royals star Ravindra Jadeja got the Player of the Match award after the win against Lucknow Super Giants, he not only thanked his wife for the award but also named his award after her i.e. the Education Minister of Gujarat.

Jadeja did what his wife said in the match

Ravindra Jadeja said in the post match presentation that winning Player of the Match and contributing to the team's victory is a great feeling. But, before I say anything further, I would like to dedicate this award to the Education Minister of Gujarat and my wife Rivaba Jadeja. He had told me a day before that I would do wonders in the match against LSG and I did. I would like to thank him for this.

The circumstances in the match were such that one got the opportunity to become a hero.

They say that sometimes what comes out of the mouth is true. When wife Rivaba said, the situation became similar for Ravindra Jadeja in the match against LSG, where he had full chances to become a hero. The great thing was that Ravindra Jadeja also seized those opportunities. When he came to bat, the condition of Rajasthan Royals was in poor condition. Its top-4 dugouts had returned and the team was far away from even scoring 100 runs. In those difficult conditions, Jadeja took command of the batting along with Hetmyer and scored the most runs for the team. Jadeja remained unbeaten till the end after scoring 43 runs in 29 balls, which included 2 fours and 1 six.

Let's go with Puran's wicket in our pocket!

After batting, when it was the turn of Rajasthan Royals to defend 159 runs, Ravindra Jadeja hunted one of the big batsmen of Lucknow Super Giants. After dismissing Nicholas Pooran, he celebrated as if he was carrying his wicket in his pocket.

29 balls were played and only 29 runs were given.

The interesting thing is that Ravindra Jadeja gave the same number of runs in his 4 overs in bowling as he faced the number of balls while batting against LSG. Jadeja, who played 29 balls while batting, gave only 29 runs in 4 overs and took 1 wicket.
