He also lost his commentary contract with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and a major factor in this was attributed to his ‘bits and pieces’ controversy involving Ravindra Jadeja.

The Team India star, who is known to celebrate his landmarks during batting by powering the bat like a sword, showed how it is done with a real sword.

Jadeja seemed pumped up as has displayed his skills with the sword, to the background music of Baahubali song, while using the hashtag #Rajputboy. He also added a quote on it, “A sword may lose its shine, but would never disobey its master.”
