Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Rivaba Jadeja, a BJP MLA and Ravindra Jadeja's wife, shared the news on her social media handle, posting pictures of him as a new member. In her post, Rivaba also shared photos of herself and her husband with their BJP membership cards.

The membership drive was recently initiated by BJP National President JP Nadda, who renewed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's membership on September 2 in Delhi.

Rivaba had joined the BJP in 2019, and was fielded by the party from the Jamnagar assembly seat in 2022. She emerged victorious on the seat, defeating AAP candidate Karshanbhai Karmur.

Ravindra Jadeja, 35, had announced his retirement from T20Is following India’s historic T20 World Cup 2024 triumph against South Africa in June.
