Watch: Jadeja's special Instagram post after IND vs WI recall

India announced its squads for the T20I and ODI series against the West Indies on Wednesday (16th September). Ravindra Jadeja was recalled to the ODI squad for the three-match series, while Auqib Nabi and Naman Dhir received maiden call-ups. Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Gurnoor Brar are also part of the ODI squad.

After his selection, the Saurashtra-based cricketer shared a special Instagram story to celebrate his return to ODI cricket. The all-rounder posted a picture of himself from the back, wearing his India jersey with ‘JADEJA’ and his familiar No. 8. He also added two folded-hands emojis and a raised-fist emoji to the post, without writing any caption.

Jadeja returns to the ODI side after an eight-month absence from the format. The 37-year-old has been an important part of India's ODI team for more than a decade and has played in World Cup and Champions Trophy campaigns. His return will give him another opportunity to prove his value in the 50-over format ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup.
