New Delhi: All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s wife, Rivaba, has made a shocking revelation regarding the Indian cricketers, stating that they engage in different types of addictions while touring abroad. However, she emphasised that her husband has never indulged in any such activities.
Speaking at an event, Rivaba said that the Indian players indulge in vices when they tour abroad, and there is no restriction on them; however, her husband does not have any addictions despite the environment around him.
"My husband, the cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, has to travel to many countries like London, Dubai and Australia to play cricket. Despite this, to this day, he has never touched or engaged in any kind of addiction or vice, because he understands his responsibilities. The rest of the team all indulge in vices, but there is no restriction on them," said Rivaba at the event.
In 2016, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul had posted a picture on his social media handles, where he was seen holding a beer bottle in his hand during the tour of West Indies. The photo went viral, and the BCCI had to direct cricketers to be a bit extra careful while posting on social media.
The Indian Board reportedly requested the players to exercise moral responsibility when sharing anything online, as they are role models for many young children around the world. Rahul later deleted the photo from his social media handles.
Ravindra Jadeja will be back in action during the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting from January 11. The all-rounder has already announced retirement from the shortest format of the game and will not participate in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
After the ODI series, Jadeja will be seen representing the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2026. He returned to RR after several successful seasons with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He was traded to the RR, with Sanju Samson joining CSK as part of the deal between the two sides.
