Speculation is ripe whether the final of the ICC Champions Trophy will be the final ODI match for some of the biggest names in Indian cricket, especially for senior players such as Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja.
While no official communication has been provided by any players or the team, netizens have come to the conclusion that Jadeja might be playing his final match, after Virat Kohli was spotted giving his long-time teammate a hug after his 10-over spell on Sunday in the final in Dubai.
Jadeja finished a very economical and accurate spell in the middle overs, bowling out his quote while conceding just 30 runs, and also taking the important wicket of Tom Latham to break a growing partnership between the left-hander and Daryl Mitchell.
Fans noticed how Kohli had previously shared a hug with Steven Smith after their semifinal, with the Australian great stepping away from ODI cricket after that loss. He was also seen embracing R Ashwin before the all-rounder announced his own surprise international retirement during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
