‘Sir’ Jadeja sparks off controversy but off the field

Ahmedabad: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja stoked a controversy by clicking selfies with lions getting off a safari jeep at the Gir National Park and Sanctuary (GNPS), in violation of rules. It followed a probe by the forest authorities of Guajrat.

‘’ ... yes, he broke the rules of the Gir forest as the tourists are not allowed to get down from the vehicle and click selfies with the animals,’’ said a senior official adding ‘’ it requires a probe.’’.

Jadeja, who is rested from the Zimbabwe tour,had visited Gir on June 14 and June 15 along with his wife Riva Solanki. His adventures came to light when his pictures, which he had posted on the social media,went viral.
