Ajay Jadeja

Ajay Jadeja is a former Indian cricketer, who had been a regular member in the Indian cricket team between 1992 and 2000. He played 15 Test matches and 196 One Day Internationals for India.

Jadeja's cricketing achievements were later overshadowed by a 5-year ban for match-fixing. The ban was later quashed by the Delhi High Court on 27 January 2003, making Jadeja eligible to play domestic and international cricket. Jadeja had approached the Delhi High Court on 2 February 2001, challenging the BCCI's order of imposing the five-year ban on the basis of the K. Madhavan Committee recommendations.

In 2015, Jadeja was appointed as the main coach for the Delhi cricket team but he resigned from the post. Jadeja is currently a cricket commentator.
