Rivaba Jadeja, the wife of cricketer Ravindra Jadeja and a Bhartiya Janata party (BJP) MLA, praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for visiting the dressing room of Team India after their World Cup final defeat to Australia.

She commended Prime Minister Modi's compassionate statesmanship, highlighting his uplifting words of encouragement and unity in consoling the players.

In a post on X, she wrote, "Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji's unwavering leadership shines in moments of victory and defeat. His presence in the dressing room after the World Cup loss reflects compassionate statesmanship, uplifting spirits with words of encouragement and unity."

As the wife of cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, a prominent figure in Indian cricket, Rivaba Jadeja witnessed firsthand the impact of the World Cup final defeat to Australia on 19 November.

The World Cup final saw India, facing Australia in a battle for cricketing glory.

Despite being inserted to bat first and managing to post a total of 240 runs, India's dream of winning the World Cup was thwarted as Australia, led by Travis Head's stellar 137 and Marnus Labuschagne's crucial 58, clinched victory by six wickets to secure their record sixth World Cup title.
