'Rajput Boy Forever': Ravindra Jadeja bats against attacks hurled on Raina

New Delhi, July 24: After former cricketer, Suresh Raina was attacked online over his 'I am Brahmin' remark, his friend and fellow CSK player Ravindra Jadeja has come forward to support him.

Raina had faced backlash for calling himself a Brahmin while commenting during a match in Tamil Nadu Premier League. This became a trending topic on social media. In order to support him, Ravindra Jadeja, who is currently on tour to England for the upcoming test series, posted a tweet where he called himself a ‘proud Rajput boy’. “#RAJPUTBOY FOREVER. Jai Hind,” Jadeja tweeted.

Jadeja has never backed down from calling himself a Rajput and this had created a controversy back in April 2020 where he was slammed for bringing caste into the sport.
