Kya aapne socha tha ki ek din Kedar Jadhav jaise cricket ke champ politics mein dikhai denge? Haan, sahi suna aapne! Ex-Chennai Super Kings aur India ke reliable middle-order batsman Kedar Jadhav ne BJP join kar liya hai, woh bhi Mumbai mein ek grand event ke dauraan, Maharashtra ke BJP Chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule ki presence mein.
April 8 ko hui is political entry ne IPL 2025 ke excitement mein ek alag hi tadka laga diya hai. Kedar Jadhav ne June 2024 mein cricket se retirement announce kiya tha, aur ab unhone political pitch pe apni second innings shuru kar di hai.
Kedar Jadhav: From Cricket Star to Political Player
2014 mein ODI debut se lekar 2020 tak, Kedar ne Indian team ke liye kaafi impactful innings kheli. Unhone 73 ODIs mein 1389 runs banaye with an average of 42.09 aur 27 wickets bhi liye as a handy off-spinner. Unki most iconic knock thi England ke against Pune ODI (2017) mein, jab unhone sirf 76 balls mein 120 runs banaye aur Virat Kohli ke saath milkar match jeet liya.
IPL Journey: CSK ke Champion Se Politics Tak
Jadhav ne IPL mein 95 matches khele, jisme unhone Delhi Daredevils (ab Delhi Capitals), RCB, CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad, aur Kochi Tuskers Kerala jaise franchises ke liye perform kiya. CSK ke saath 2018 ka title jeetna unki IPL journey ka highlight tha.
Unka domestic cricket record bhi impressive raha hai, especially 2013-14 Ranji Trophy mein, jahan unhone 1223 runs banaye aur six centuries lagayi. Ye hi form unko India team mein le gayi thi.
Politics Ki Nayi Paryasthiti
Cricket se retirement ke baad ab Kedar Jadhav ne BJP join karke ek naya role accept kiya hai. Unka ye decision dikhata hai ki ab woh Maharashtra ki politics mein apna impact banana chahte hain. Unki popularity aur cricket background unke political career ke liye kaafi strong base ban sakta hai.
Toh ab dekha jaye, cricket ke baad politics mein bhi Kedar Jadhav ka helicopter shot chalega ya nahi? Time hi batayega!
