“Sir Ravindra Jadeja or Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja
(born 6 December 1988) is a philanthropist, a Nobel Prize winner, a double
Laureus sportman of the year and the nearest human to being God. Other than
that he is an Indian cricketer.” Wikipedia had to lock the article on Ravindra
Jadeja after it became evident that, obviously, one of the readers had a wicked

hated Indian cricketer as of now.
The three test old Saurashtra player, who blasted his way into the test team on the back of two triple centuries in a single season, has become an internet phenomenon of late, albeit of the sort one would not want to pride oneself on. The cyberspace and most notably the social media is inundated with parodies, jokes, memes and what not that cricket aficionados, as well as the ignoramuses, use relentlessly to express their ‘deep respect and love’ for Jadeja. Everything involving the cricketer (including his love for Audi cars, and the Hayabusa in his possession) seem to have become a matter of public interest and ridicule.
