Rivaba Jadeja, the wife of Indian cricket star Ravindra Jadeja and a noted politician, has ignited a controversy with her recent assertions about the behavior of some Indian cricketers during international assignments. Her claims that certain players engage in “wrong activities” on tours have become a major talking point, drawing sharp reactions from fans and experts alike.
Mrs. Jadeja started by commending her husband, Ravindra Jadeja, for his strong moral compass and professional integrity. She highlighted his success in maintaining a distance from negative influences while traveling extensively for cricket matches in various countries, suggesting his dedication sets him apart.
Her remarks then veered into contentious territory with the claim that “other players in the Indian team get involved in wrong activities when they travel abroad.” These statements have fueled discussions about professionalism, accountability, and the internal dynamics of the Indian cricket team. The lack of specific names has not curbed the speculation, making it a widely discussed issue.
She further clarified that Ravindra Jadeja, aware of potential temptations, consciously opts for disciplined conduct, recognizing his responsibilities as a national cricketer. The timing of these comments, coupled with their serious nature, has led to considerable backlash on social media platforms, with many deeming this a significant accusation against the team.
Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja is preparing for his return to the Rajasthan Royals for the upcoming IPL 2026 season. This reunion with his first IPL franchise from 2008 follows his departure from the Chennai Super Kings. The trade, which involved other player movements, has been a subject of much discussion, with fans eagerly awaiting his performance.
