Star cricketer Ravindra Jadeja’s admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi shone through after a high-profile meeting in New Delhi. Joined by wife Rivaba, the visit to Parliament House turned into a social media sensation, with glowing tributes pouring in from the couple.
In his X post, Jadeja stated, ‘Meeting PM Narendra Modi and having a conversation is truly a point of pride and honor. His sharp insights, boundless enthusiasm, and pledge to top-tier achievements offer tremendous inspiration. It’s an honor to draw lessons from such leadership.’
Rivaba, sharing visuals, added a personal touch: ‘Beyond a simple meeting – a pinnacle of pride. Dialogue with PM Narendra Modi, the unwavering champion of India, its traditions, and its path ahead. India moves forward assuredly.’
Her political stature enhances the narrative. As a BJP legislator from Jamnagar North since 2022 and current Gujarat minister overseeing key education sectors, Rivaba is a force in public service.
Jadeja, 37, has shifted gears post his T20I retirement after India’s 2024 World Cup win, concentrating on ODIs and Tests. His inclusion in BCCI’s A-list contracts with Gill and Bumrah for 2026-27 reflects sustained excellence.
A look at his records: 89 Tests yielding 4,095 runs and 348 wickets; 210 ODIs with 2,905 runs and 232 scalps; 74 T20Is featuring 515 runs and 54 wickets. Such encounters bridge the worlds of athletic prowess and national stewardship, fueling optimism for India’s bright future.
