Rajkot

Gujarat Lions all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will miss today’s Indian Premier League match against Mumbai Indians as he is all set to tie the nuptial knot with fiance Riva Solanki, here tomorrow.

“Ravindra Jadeja is not going to play today’s match and has not come to Mumbai with the team as he is getting married tomorrow,” sources in Gujarat Lions team said.

“It is also not sure whether he would be available for game against Sunrisers Hyderabad to be played on April 21,” sources said adding that the game is to be played in Rajkot and therefore there are still chances of Jadeja playing in that match.

The new entrant in the ninth edition of IPL has so far played well, registering two wins in two matches.

Jadeja, one of the team’s key player, played well in the game against Rising Pune Supergiants where he took two wickets and conceded only 18 runs in his four-over spell.

Sources also said that Gujarat Lions team members are expected to attend the wedding reception tomorrow evening.

Jadeja and Solanki’s traditional ‘Vel’ ceremony was completed today. As part of this Rajput custom, groom’s family visits bride’s family and takes her along with them. She is returned after three ‘fera’. Jadeja worshiped sword during ‘Vel’ ceremony. Though groom himself doesn’t visit bride’s place during ‘Vel’ ceremony, Jadeja choose to visit Rivaba’s place.

Three-day wedding ceremony started yesterday with Mehndi and Pithi ceremonies.
