After a historic win against South Africa at the Newlands Cricket Ground, India’s star all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja, is taking a delightful detour from the cricketing grind. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) sensation recently shared a video on his Instagram account, showcasing a serene bullock cart ride during his time off at home. The video was aptly captioned: “VINTAGE RIDE.”

The picturesque scene of Jadeja enjoying a traditional bullock cart ride provides a refreshing contrast to the high-intensity action on the cricket field. It’s a glimpse into the cricketer’s downtime, a moment of tranquility before gearing up for India’s upcoming cricket assignments.
In the recently concluded Test match against South Africa at Cape Town’s Newlands Cricket Ground, Jadeja had a relatively quiet outing on the field. Seam-friendly conditions meant that he didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his spin prowess, and he didn’t bowl a single over in the Test.
While the Indian fast bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah, stole the spotlight with remarkable performances, Jadeja’s contributions were limited in the bowling department. Despite the lack of bowling action for Jadeja, the Indian team clinched a historic 7-wicket win in the shortest Test match ever, creating waves of celebration among fans.
In the batting department, Jadeja had a brief stint at the crease in the first innings, where he was dismissed for a duck after facing just two balls. The collapse of India’s last six wickets for 0 runs left the team all out for 153 runs. However, with the bat not being required in the second innings, Jadeja had a relaxed role in the match’s conclusion.
As Jadeja takes a well-deserved break at home, the focus now shifts to India’s upcoming cricket schedule. With the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan on the horizon, starting from January 11 with the first match scheduled in Mohali, Jadeja is likely to be a key figure in the squad. The T20 format, known for its dynamism, offers the all-rounder an opportunity to showcase his versatile skills and make an impact.
Jadeja’s vintage cart ride serves as a glimpse into the life beyond the boundary ropes, reminding fans that even the most intense athletes find solace in simple joys. As the cricket world eagerly awaits Jadeja’s return to action, this serene interlude highlights the balance that champions like him strike between fierce competition on the field and moments of calm off it. Here’s to more vintage rides and triumphant cricketing adventures with Ravindra Jadeja in the days to come!
