Ravindra Jadeja  

Indian cricketers work hard to make the country proud. However, not much is known about their better halves, who support them behind the scenes and act as their rocks during tough times. 

In 2023, Virat Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record by making his 50^th century in the world cup. He made three centuries, and 6 half-centuries in world cup matches.

Ravindra Jadeja is an Indian cricket player. He made his test match debut on 12 December 2003, against Australia in Adelaide. He is the only Indian bowler to score triple centuries in first-class cricket format.
