“Whatever i’m doing on the field.. it’s a tribute to you,” he captioned the post.

In 2005, Jadeja's mother, Lata, passed away when he was just 17 years old. At that time, he was a member of the India Under-19 team that would later go on to win the 2008 World Cup under the captaincy of Virat Kohli.

On 29 June, India, led by Rohit Sharma, emerged victorious in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup in Barbados, defeating South Africa by seven runs to secure their second title. Despite the team's success, Jadeja's performance in the tournament was below expectations, with only 35 runs and one wicket from eight matches.

Following the T20 World Cup final, the 35-year-old spinner announced his retirement from T20 internationals. Throughout his career, Jadeja played 74 T20Is for India, scoring 515 runs and taking 54 wickets.

Thank you for the memories, the cheers, and the unwavering support,” the southpaw wrote on Instagram after the final.
