The annual Sports Day at G.D. Shah High School in Jamnagar turned into a lively celebration when BJP MLA Rivaba Jadeja, wife of Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, stepped onto the field to take part in a number of traditional games alongside students. Rivaba, who represents Jamnagar North, participated in events such as kabaddi, balancing a cone on her head and even tug-of-war. Her enthusiasm and involvement with the schoolgirls created an energetic atmosphere, with parents and teachers applauding her as she joined the children in the spirit of competition. Her participation is sure to leave a strong impression on the students, many of whom will be inspired by the rare sight of a public representative actively taking part in school-level sporting contests. Watch Rivaba Jadeja trying her hand at several traditional games here. Meanwhile, her husband Ravindra Jadeja has been in the headlines for his performances in the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. While the left-arm spinner did not make a significant impact with the ball, he stood out with the bat, scoring 516 runs in five Tests, including five half-centuries and a century, reaffirming his role as one of India’s most dependable all-rounders.
