New Delhi: It seems like star Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja has embarked on a political journey after retiring from the T20 format earlier this year. The cricketer’s wife, Rivaba Jadeja, who is a BJP MLA from Gujarat, sparked speculations of his husband joining the BJP with a social media post on Thursday.
In a post on social media site X, Rivaba shared photos of Ravindra’s card as a BJP member, along with her own card. The post mentioned the political party’s ‘sadasyata abhiyan’, or membership drive, which kicked off couple of days earlier on September 2. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also renewed his membership of the party under the drive the same day.

No official statement yet
While there is no official statement from the BJP or Jadeja himself but this social media post which has the card along with the membership number and state mentioned is a big indication that the all-rounder might have joined the BJP. After India’s triumph at the T20 World Cup 2024, Jadeja along with his wife even met PM Modi at his residence.

Meanwhile, the cricketer’s wife Rivaba Jadeja has been with the political party since 2019 and contested the Gujarat Assembly polls from the Jamnagar North constituency in 2022. Back then, the cricketer, who enjoys a lot of fan following, had also campaigned for his wife which resulted in her victory from the constituency by a margin of over 50000 votes.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Jadeja played a total of 74 matches in his T20 career scoring 515 runs with an average of 21. In his last game, which was the T20 World Cup final 2024 against South Africa, Jadeja could only contribute 2 runs off 2 balls.
