'''Ajaysinhji Jadeja''' <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/29632.html |title=Ajay Jadeja, Cricket players |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo}}</ref> ({{audio|Ajay Jadeja.ogg|pronunciation}} born 1 February 1971), known as '''Ajay Jadeja''', is an Indian former professional [[Cricket|cricketer]], who was a regular member of the [[Indian cricket team]] between 1992 and 2000. He played 15 [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and 196 [[One Day International]]s for India.

His cricketing achievements were overshadowed by a five-year ban for [[Match fixing|match-fixing]]. The ban was later quashed by the [[Delhi High Court]] on 27 January 2003, making Jadeja eligible to play domestic and international cricket. He was most remembered for hitting and quick finishing of the overs in late 1990s.

== Personal life ==
Jadeja was born into an erstwhile [[Nawanagar State|Nawanagar royal family]].<ref>{{cite book |title=The Journal of Indo-judaic Studies, Volumes 1–4 |year=1998 |publisher=Society for Indo-Judaic Studies |page=95 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a9wsAQAAIAAJ&q=ajay+jadeja+royal}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=I am suffering irreparably: Ajay Jadeja Ajay Jadeja studied in the esteemed Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, New Delhi |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune-times/I-am-suffering-irreparably-Ajay-Jadeja/articleshow/33617885.cms |access-date=25 June 2013 |newspaper=Times of India |date=7 January 2003}}</ref> which has a cricketing pedigree. His relatives include [[K. S. Ranjitsinhji]], after whom the [[Ranji Trophy]] is named, and [[K. S. Duleepsinhji]], for whom the [[Duleep Trophy]] is named. Jadeja is married to Aditi Jaitly, the daughter of [[Jaya Jaitly]] and the couple have two children, {{proper name|Aiman}} and Ameera.

== International career ==
Jadeja was a regular in the [[Indian cricket team]] between 1992 and 2000, playing 15 [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and 196 [[One Day International]]s. He was regarded as one of the best fielders in the Indian team in his time. One of his most memorable innings was his cameo in the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] quarter-final In [[Bengaluru]] against arch rivals [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]] when he scored 45 off 25 balls, including 40 from the final two overs by [[Waqar Younis]]. Jadeja, along with [[Mohammed Azharuddin]], holds the [[List of One Day International cricket records|record for the highest one-day partnership 4th and 5th wicket]], set against [[Zimbabwe cricket team|Zimbabwe]] and [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]] respectively. Jadeja was also renowned for his remarkable fielding and was considered one of the safest pair of hands in the Indian team during his tenure.

Another memorable occasion of his career was taking 3 wickets for 3 runs in 1 over against England in [[Sharjah (city)|Sharjah]] to win the match for India. Jadeja has captained India in 13 One-day matches. One of favorite hunting grounds was the [[M. Chinnaswamy Stadium|Chinnaswamy Stadium]] in Bangalore, the venue of the quarter-final against Pakistan in the 1996 World Cup. The last time Jadeja played in a One Day International was against Pakistan in the Pepsi Asia Cup on 3 June 2000. He scored 93 in a game that India eventually lost. Jadeja was the top scorer hitting 8 fours and 4 sixes.

==Match-fixing scandal==
Jadeja's cricketing achievements were later overshadowed by a 5-year ban for match-fixing. The ban was later quashed by the Delhi High Court on 27 January 2003, making Jadeja eligible to play domestic and international cricket. Jadeja had approached the Delhi High Court on 2 February 2001, challenging the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] order imposing the five-year ban on the basis of the K. Madhavan Committee recommendations. He was back playing Ranji in 2003.

==After cricket==
In 2015, Jadeja was appointed as the main coach for [[Delhi cricket team]] but he resigned from the post.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ajay Jadeja quits as Delhi coach |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ranji-trophy-2015-16/content/story/925059.html |website=Cricinfo |access-date=2015-10-24|date=2 October 2015 }}</ref> Jadeja is currently a cricket commentator.
