On the 18th of February, India dismissed England for a mere 122 runs, securing a victory in the Test match by a margin of 434 runs. Jadeja played a crucial role in the match, achieving a century and claiming 7 wickets. In the second innings, he attained his 13th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. In recognition of his outstanding performances, he was bestowed with the Player of the Match accolade.
During the award ceremony, he dedicated the honor to his spouse, Rivaba Jadeja. Recently, his wife has been the subject of news reports due to allegations made by her father-in-law, asserting that she was responsible for causing a rift within the family. He further stated that he had not met his son for the past five years, despite residing in the same city.
The all-rounder himself responded to his father’s interview by referring to it as “premeditated.” He also urged his fans not to believe any of the claims made by his father. Meanwhile, Rivaba was questioned about the matter during an event, where she became visibly angry.
Numerous fans expressed their discontent with Ravindra Jadeja’s decision to dedicate the award to his wife. Some agreed with his father’s statements in the interview, while others criticized him for his choice. A few defended him by highlighting that not all fathers are good parents.
His father’s assertions were undeniably accurate.
Ashwin dedicated his 500 wickets to his father and promptly returned when his mother was hospitalized. I am pleased that Ashwin is my preferred all-rounder in Test cricket.
Many individuals are berating him for not acknowledging his father, but the reality is that his own father and sister are disparaging him for political reasons. I commend Jadeja for gracefully handling such criticism on a daily basis.
Father is greater than wife.
Rivaba is a fortunate woman.
Jadeja, sir, always remember the name, it is an important aspect for India.
From childhood, what a wife she was along with him. After hearing this, his father:

What about you, dad?

We are resolving the issues that occurred within the household.
For Ghodeja, wife is more important than father. Utterly disgraceful.
Father, it’s your turn now. Times have changed.
Why can’t this be dedicated to his father, considering he groomed him from an early age, providing both moral and financial support? A wife is significant in life, but the father played a major role. The wife only came into the picture after his 5 years of international cricket and 8 years of IPL career. Of course, this is my personal opinion.
Jadeja scored a century in India’s first innings, forming partnerships with Rohit Sharma and Sarfaraz Khan. He faced criticism after a miscommunication with Khan resulted in the debutant’s run-out. In England’s first innings, he took two wickets, and in the second innings, he claimed a five-wicket haul. He was also hit for 23 runs by Mark Wood, but ultimately dismissed him.
