The posters are now going viral on social media as netizens started trolling the cricketer and his wife for using an Indian jersey for the elections campaign.
“Why is Team India’s jersey used for a BJP campaign? Is @BCCI sponsoring the roadshow, wrote a user.
“Ideally, Jadeja should attract a heavy fine or even match ban for using that jersey on election posters but, not going to happen for obvious reasons,” wrote another
“@BCCI remove @imjadeja from your central contract. We need cricketers, not actors like Jadeja who is faking his injury, just to campaign for his wife,” a third user said.
The 33-year-old was ruled out of the T20 World, ongoing series against New Zealand, and the upcoming ODI series against Bangladesh because he failed to recover from the knee injury.
