Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja tied the knot with Rivaba Solanki in Rajkot on Sunday morning. He was engaged to Rivaba in February last. The wedding was attended by family members and close friends of the couple. Rivaba, who hails from Junagadh, is a mechanical engineer and is the only child of Hardevsinh and Prafullaba Solanki. She is currently based in Delhi, busy preparing for UPSC exams.
According to a source close to the cricketer, “The rituals had started on Saturday and Ravindra reserved his best for the sangeet ceremony. There, he showcased his sword skills in front of the guests and it left everyone impressed.”
Since Gujarat Lions (Jadeja's IPL team) had a match against Team Mumbai at the Wankhede stadium on Saturday evening, his teammates couldn't make it to the wedding on Sunday morning either. However, Sitanshu Kotak, the assistant coach of Team Gujarat, said, “The entire team has been invited for the wedding reception on Sunday evening and all of us will be going.” On Monday, the couple headed to Hadatoda in Jamnagar, Jadeja's native village. There are a few more rituals lined up and after that, some massive celebrations have been planned there with the villagers, which includes a mega cultural event.”
