India’s Champions Trophy 2025 win in Dubai wasn’t just about lifting another ICC trophy, it was about making a statement. Ravindra Jadeja, who played a key role throughout the tournament, sealed the deal in style, smashing the winning boundary and adding yet another feather to India’s cap.
Jadeja’s ‘Pushpa’ Moment Goes Viral
As the Men in Blue rejoiced, Ravindra Jadeja found a unique way to mark the occasion. On Monday, Jadeja took to Instagram and dropped a post that sent fans into a frenzy.
He shared an image featuring himself on one side where he is seen pointing his bat to his name and number ‘8’ on the back of his jersey. The image was from the moment he hit the winning runs, a moment every Indian fan will cherish.
But the twist? On the other side of the image was Allu Arjun’s iconic ‘Pushpa’ pose, tapping his back: the signature move from the blockbuster movie ‘Pushpa 2’. He captioned from the post ‘National khiladi samje the kya’ with fire emoji.
Jadeja is no stranger to channelling his inner Pushpa, having pulled off similar celebrations in the past. But this time, with the Champions Trophy in the bag, it hit differently. The fans loved it, and the post instantly went viral.
Retirement Rumours Swirling Around Jadeja
While the celebration was top-tier entertainment, Jadeja’s contributions on the field were even more crucial. Whether it was breaking partnerships with his spin, saving crucial runs in the field, or finishing games under pressure, he was India’s go-to man throughout the tournament.
The moment the final ended, speculation about Jadeja’s future started buzzing. Strong rumours suggest that the all-rounder might call time on his ODI career after this historic win. But as of now, Jadeja hasn’t made any official announcement. However, if that winning shot was indeed his final act in ODI cricket, what a way to bow out!
