Following India’s Champions Trophy final victory against New Zealand, speculation has grown over Ravindra Jadeja’s future in One Day Internationals (ODIs). The veteran all-rounder bowled a brilliant spell, conceding just 30 runs in 10 overs and dismissing Tom Latham, playing a key role in India’s success.
A moment that caught attention was Virat Kohli’s warm embrace of Jadeja after his spell, leading to widespread rumors about his possible retirement. Having already stepped away from T20Is after India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win, Jadeja’s future in ODIs now remains uncertain. Fans have taken to social media, questioning whether this was his last appearance in the format.

Jadeja had previously hinted at ending his T20I career by stating he had given his all to the game, drawing comparisons to a “steadfast horse galloping with pride.” His contributions in ODIs have been crucial, but with India’s transition towards younger talent, retirement discussions have intensified.
As of now, neither Jadeja nor the BCCI has made an official statement regarding his ODI future. However, with growing speculation, an announcement could be on the horizon as India prepares for upcoming international assignments.
