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 will miss his side’s encounter against Mumbai Lions at Wankhede Mumbai. Gujarat Lions, one of the new entrants, are top of the table heading into their game. They will be up against a strong MI side, who are the current champions. The loss of Jadeja would mean extra added pressure on the likes of Bravo and Faulkner, who will come up against the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jos Buttler and Kieron Pollard.
