In a surprising twist of fate, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has been thrust into the spotlight, but this time, not for his cricketing prowess. He has been announced as the next Jamsaheb of Nawanagar, an Indian princely state nestled in the historical Halar region, on the southern shores of the Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat. The announcement was made by the current Maharaja Jamsaheb of Nawanagar, who issued a statement confirming the succession.
Nawanagar, now known as Jamnagar, holds a special significance for Ajay Jadeja. It is the ancestral land of his royal family, boasting a rich legacy in the world of cricket. This legacy is evident in the esteemed Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy, named after Jadeja’s relatives, KS Ranjitsinhji and KS Duleepsinhji, respectively. This appointment marks a return to his roots, connecting him to a lineage deeply intertwined with the history of cricket in India.
