The day of Dussehra has brought happiness for former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja. In fact, Jam Saheb Shatrushlyasinhji Jadeja of Jamnagar, Gujarat has declared him as his successor on this auspicious occasion. He will now be the next Jam Saheb of the Jamnagar royal family of Gujarat. Shatrushlyasinhji has given this information by issuing a letter. He said in his letter 'On the day of Dussehra, the Pandavas returned victorious from exile. On this auspicious occasion, my dilemma is over and I propose to make Ajay Jadeja my successor. I am confident that he will prove to be a blessing to the people of Jamnagar and will serve them with full devotion. I will be grateful to him for this.'

Why was Ajay Jadeja chosen as the successor?

Former cricketer Ajay Jadeja is from Jamnagar and belongs to the Nawanagar princely state. Apart from this, he belongs to the family of Ranjitsinhji Jadeja and Dalipsinhji Jadeja, in whose name India's domestic Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy are played. Ranjitsinhji Jadeja and Dalipsinhji, apart from being cricketers, have also ruled the Nawanagar princely state. Apart from this, Shatrushlyasinhji's father Digvijaysinhji has been close to him. 85-year-old Shatrushlyasinhji is childless, so he has to choose his heir. This was the reason why he chose Ajay Jadeja as his successor.

Let us tell you that Shatrushlyasinhji himself has been a cricketer. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Saurashtra against Bombay in 1958-59. He played three matches in 1959-60, four in 1961-62, and four in 1962-63. He has also played for England's county cricket club Sussex. However, he never played for Team India. Shatrushlyasinhji played 29 matches in his first-class career, in which he scored 1061 runs at an average of 22 and also took 36 wickets.

Ajay Jadeja comes from the royal family of Nawanagar and his father Daulatsinghji Jadeja was a politician. He was also elected MP from Jamnagar three times. That means he was already rich. Later cricket added to his wealth. According to the report of Financial Express, Ajay Jadeja is the owner of Rs 250 crore.
