Jadeja said he had to leave his pregnant wife behind to go play the matches. In an interview to Star Sports, he confessed:
I had to leave my pregnant wife behind. Family matters a lot to me, but it was also necessary to be part of the team with an important match coming up against Pakistan. Since the family is there to take care of her even they felt that I should play as that’s more important and I decided to do the same.
After having beaten rivals Pakistan on a rainy Sunday, India is now eyeing a win against Sri Lanka on Thursday, 8 June.
