Speculation over Ravindra Jadeja’s ODI retirement intensified after Virat Kohli shared an emotional hug with him during the ICC Champions Trophy final. Fans linked the gesture to Kohli’s past farewells to retiring players like Steve Smith and R Ashwin. Jadeja, 36, bowled a tight 10-over spell, conceding 30 runs and dismissing Tom Latham. Having retired from T20Is last year, his ODI future remains uncertain. India, led by strong bowling from Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav, restricted New Zealand to 251. Whether Jadeja, Rohit Sharma, and Kohli continue till the 2027 ODI World Cup remains a key question.
