Ravindra Jadeja has been part of a many a controversy off the field. Ravindra Jadeja and Riva Solanki were married in the traditional 'Kshatriya' style at Rajkot in June 2016.

Ravindra Jadeja's marriage celebrations in Rajkot were embroiled in controversy after there were reports of some celebratory gunshots being fired during the marriage procession. The firing into the air that was done by the Indian cricketer's relatives during the procession almost led to a catastrophe with Jadeja being nearly thrown off by his panicked horse.
