Ravindra Jadeja has been one of the most prominent names in the Indian cricket circuit for almost a decade now.

The dynamic all-rounder is currently in Mumbai where he is plying his trade for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). On Friday, Jadeja starred in the CSK team 2021's win over Punjab Kings and once again it was his sensational fielding that extensively ended up affecting the game. The all-rounder's gun throw resulted in PBKS skipper KL Rahul's dismissal whereas he also took a sharp diving catch to get rid of the dangerous Chris Gayle.

Jadeja then grabbed PBKS top-scorer Shahrukh Khan's catch and ensured that Punjab didn't get the late flourish as they were restricted to a paltry 106. The Men in Yellow chased down the target comprehensively in just 15.4 overs with six wickets to spare. While Jadeja's on-field exploits have made the headlines, fans have also been wondering about his personal life. Let's take a look at "Who is Ravindra Jadeja wife?" and his love story.
