Ravindra Jadeja recalled the first time he came in contact with Narendra Modi. In a video posted by the Free Press Journal, Jadeja said, “I had first met him (Modi) in 2010 in Ahmedabad. He was the chief minister of Gujarat back then.”

He further added, “We (India) had a match against South Africa in the Motera Stadium. Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni), who was our captain back then introduced me to him. Modi Sahab ne khud bola ki ‘bhai ye toh apna ladka hai, dhyaan rkhna (Modi Sahab said himself, ‘He’s our boy, take care of him)’. He said so with a laugh while being in a light mood.”

“That’s when you feel…. a person of such big stature comes to you and says this personally. Ek alag si feeling aati hai. I felt really good when he said this.”

With Gujarat going to assembly polls, Jadeja’s wife Rivaba and his sister Naynaba have come face to face. His wife Rivaba is contesting on a BJP ticket while his sister Naynaba is campaigning for the opposition party Congress in Jamnagar North in Gujarat. Ravindra Jadeja has already appeared in a pre-poll press conference with his wife to endorse her.

In the video, Jadeja also recalls, how Narendra Modi has increased the pride of India and specifically Gujarati’s all over the world. “When we travel all over the world for cricket matches, we meet a lot of people who come up to me and tell me, you are Gujarati, we are also Gujaratis, and our Prime Minister is also Gujarati. He has made Gujarati all over the world very proud,” Jadeja said in the video.
