News has once again come that former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja is in the news again. But this time, it is not about cricket or coaching. Instead, he has been declared heir to Jamnagar’s royal family. This astonishing news emanates from Jamnagar, Gujarat. On the day of Dussehra, Maharaja Jam Saheb Shatrusalyasinhji declared this historic decision.
In Gujarati, a letter was written by Maharaja in which he expressed his happiness. He says he is fortunate on Dussehra as the 14 years of exile end for Pandavas and it is the celebration. He thanks Ajay Jadeja for accepting the post of his successor. Maharaja thinks that this decision brings luck to the people of Jamnagar.
He said he also thanks Jadeja to take responsibility on his behalf to serve the people of Jamnagar. He says that he doesn’t have children. So he wanted a successor. Ajay Jadeja is his close relative. So, Jadeja becomes the next Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, now called Jamnagar.
Ajay Jadeja is a prince. He is born from the Nawanagar state household. His father, Daulatsinhji Jadeja, was Maharaja Shatrusalyasinhji’s cousin. This makes him all the more important in this character.

The Cricket Legacy
Apart from his royal connections, Ajay Jadeja is blessed with a cricketing heritage replete for his name. He is the nephew of two cricketing giants- KS Ranjitsinhji and KS Duleepsinhji, after whom trophies are named-the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy. These trophies happen to be highly important in Indian domestic cricket.
Ajay Jadeja played cricket for India from 1992 till the year 2000. He played 15 test matches and 196 ODIs. He scored 5,359 runs in ODIs and made six centuries during his game time. Much respect is owed to him for his contribution to cricket.
Jadeja is far more famous for his batting skills but he can be much more lauded for fielding. He is truly one of the greatest fielding experts his era ever saw. Great agility and fast reflexes made him a hero on the cricketing ground. One of the greatest performances of Jadeja took place during the quarter-final match of the Cricket World Cup 1996 against Pakistan. That match completely changed his career because he had played a very crucial role in that game.
Financial Success
Ajay Jadeja also owns a good amount of money in his career. He is one of the richest cricket players in India. His net worth is estimated to be 50 crore rupees. This amount is gathered from his cricketing career, endorses, and family assets.

His family has a great deal of property; this also adds a great amount to his wealth. Being a member of the royal family, Jadeja’s economic background is sound. This coming together of cricketing success and royal blood makes him a big catch in both sports and high society.
