"I just breed for myself and don’t intend to sell them" - When Ravindra Jadeja opened up about his love for horses

Ravindra Jadeja's love for horses developed when he visited his friend's place. He ended up buying a few horses for his farmhouse in 2010. The star cricketer once stated that while he breeds the horses, he wasn't interested in selling any of them.

Jadeja was quoted as saying by The Hindustan Times in September 2020:

"In life, due to cricket practice, I could never spend enough time at my farmhouse, but I am glad I got the chance in the last few months. I used to go to my friend’s place for riding horses and gradually, I got interested in horses and horse breeding. I bought a few horses in 2010 for my farmhouse and have been enjoying taking care of them. I just breed for myself and don’t intend to sell them."

Following the completion of IPL 2025, Jadeja is expected to tour England with the Indian team for a five-match Test series, beginning June 13.
