Indian all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja’s wife Rivaba has been summoned by the Jamnagar Court on Tuesday in the 2018 police assault case. Following an incident, she had assaulted a policeman.

She and her mother have been summoned for the final time by the court. There has been no official statement as such from the mother-daughter pair despite being asked to show up at court multiple times before.

The incident occurred at the Saru Section road in Jamnagar when Rivaba was driving and ended up hitting the two-wheeler of the police constable, who proceeded to attack her. A witness claimed that the cop ‘thrashed Rivaba brutally’.

He grabbed the opportunity with both hands and proceeded to play the role of the finisher perfectly in the second game against Sri Lanka.

Yes, I’m enjoying batting at number five. I can take my time and I can pace my innings according to the situation. I would like to thank Rohit because he trusts me and he believes in me that I can go out there and score runs for my team. So hopefully whenever I get an opportunity in the future I’ll try and do my best, play according to the situation, and be in the game for my team,” Jadeja said during the post-match media interaction.

The 2-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka begins on March 4 in Rawalpindi.
