Ravindra Jadeja Says THIS About ODI Retirement Ahead Of IPL 2025 Season For CSK
Ravindra Jadeja, India’s seasoned all-rounder, has put to rest swirling rumours about his retirement from One Day Internationals (ODIs) following India’s triumphant Champions Trophy 2025 campaign. The speculations gained momentum after Jadeja’s heartwarming embrace with Virat Kohli at the end of his 10-over spell in the final against New Zealand. However, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stalwart dismissed all conjectures with a crisp, four-word Instagram post: “No unnecessary rumours, thanks.”
Jadeja once again proved why he is an indispensable asset to Indian cricket. The all-rounder, known for his lethal left-arm spin and electric fielding, played a pivotal role in India’s historic win over New Zealand in the final at Dubai.
Bowling a tight spell, Jadeja finished with figures of 1/30 in his 10 overs, claiming the crucial wicket of Tom Latham, one of New Zealand’s most reliable batters against spin. His precision and economy kept the Kiwi middle order in check, ensuring India maintained control during the crucial phases of the match.
If his bowling wasn’t enough, Jadeja’s fielding heroics once again made headlines. Recognized as one of the best fielders in world cricket, he bagged the ‘Fielder of the Match’ medal for his impeccable fielding display, reinforcing his reputation as India’s ultimate all-rounder.
Jadeja wasn’t the only Indian stalwart whose retirement rumours caught fire. India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, was also subject to speculation following his match-winning knock of 76 off 83 balls in the high-stakes final. With seven boundaries and three colossal sixes, Rohit turned the tide in India’s favor when the pressure was at its peak.
After the final, when asked about his future in international cricket, Rohit made his stance clear. “Just to clarify, I am not retiring. Please do not spread any rumours,” he said emphatically in the post-match press conference.
Beyond the cricketing heroics, the post-match celebrations provided fans with emotional moments. Rohit Sharma was seen embracing his wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samaira, cherishing India’s monumental victory. In another touching moment, Virat Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, was spotted sharing an emotional hug with the skipper, further fueling fan excitement.
Jadeja, too, had his share of family celebrations, lifting his daughter Nidhyana in his arms as the team basked in their glorious win. These moments, captured on camera, went viral across social media, making India’s victory even more special for fans worldwide.
With the Champions Trophy done and dusted, Jadeja’s focus now shifts to the IPL 2025 season, where he will once again don the yellow jersey for Chennai Super Kings. Having played a crucial role in CSK’s past successes, the all-rounder will be eager to continue his stellar form under the leadership of MS Dhoni, if the legendary skipper continues for another season.
Jadeja’s recent form, combined with his experience, makes him a key player for CSK. Whether with the bat, ball, or his unmatched fielding skills, he will be crucial in the franchise’s quest for yet another IPL title.
