Ravindra Jadeja, who is an active sports person on social media, often posts some interesting albeit controversial photos online. Jadeja recently shared a photo of himself on Instagram with a caption that said: Had a really great "Night Out" last night, according to my police report.#rajputboy.

Now, it is to be confirmed if Ravindra Jadeja is smoking in the photo or it is just plain camera tricks. Jadeja's cryptic message, leaves certain questions unanswered. Was he partying all night? Was he caught by the cops in some way?

However, it comes as no surprise to fans, as in 2016, Ravindra Jadeja came under the limelight when he posted controversial photos along with his wife Riva Solanki posing with endangered Asiatic lions in the background at Gir forest. Jadeja was pulled up by the forest ministry and he removed the photos from his account.

Ravindra Jadeja was recalled to the Indian side as a replacement for an injured Axar Patel during the ongoing ODI series against Australia. However, Jadeja did not play in any of the games. Axar Patel, who is now fit has replaced Ravindra Jadeja for the upcoming two ODIs between India and Australia.

The all-rounder was last seen playing in Virat Kohli-led India's squad during the Test series in Sri Lanka in July 2017. Jadeja was the second leading wicket taker in the series with 17.
