Today is the birthday of Ravindra Jadeja, an important player of the Indian cricket team. Everyone knows Ravindra Jadeja as Sir Jadeja, who made an impact in the matches with his batting, bowling and fielding, but this player has faced a lot of troubles in his childhood. Jadeja lost his mother’s influence at an early age. The conditions were not favorable for playing cricket but he did not give up and this spirit of never giving up is what differentiates Jadeja from others.
Ravindra Jadeja was born on 6 December 1988 in Jamnagar, Gujarat. His father Anirudh Singh Jadeja was in the Indian Army but was injured in an accident. After this he had to leave his job. He started working as a guard in a security company. He wanted to send his son to the army but Jadeja liked cricket. However, mother Lata Jadeja supported her son.
The mother was a nurse and was helping her son pursue his dream of playing cricket but destiny had other plans. When Jadeja was 17 years old, his mother died in an accident. After this it became difficult for Jadeja to play cricket. But where there is a will, there is a way. Seeing the financial condition of the family, Jadeja’s sister Naina supported him and started working as a nurse.
On the other hand, Jadeja was working hard day and night and was busy in making his dream come true. Due to his hard work and excellent performance, Jadeja made it to the Under-19 World Cup team in 2006. He performed brilliantly throughout the tournament. He also became a part of the Under 19 World Cup team in 2008. This time he was the vice-captain. He performed well in the tournament and was selected for the Indian team in 2009.
After this Ravindra Jadeja never looked back. Jadeja left his mark in all three formats of international cricket. Not only this, on the basis of his excellent performance he also won the title of Chennai Super Kings in IPL. PM Modi himself called Ravindra Jadeja as Sir Jadeja.
Talking about Jadeja’s personal life, he married Rivaba in 2016. Rivaba is also a BJP MLA from Jamnagar North Assembly seat of Gujarat. Both also have a daughter. According to media reports, if we talk about Jadeja’s net worth, his net worth is around Rs 115 crore, while his annual income is around Rs 16 crore.
