Nothing wrong about it. He’s just confirming he’s proud of his choice.

because the reel is misogynistic? jadeja’s wife is better bcoz she wears sari or bcoz she’s part of BJP? ?

Other cricketer's wives are either actresses or commoners. Jadeja's wife is a politician, hence maybe she wears covered sarees suiting to her profession. A politician dancing to reels wouldn't be professional. Such reels shaming others clothes shouldn't be posted.

It seems like he has unliked the post now. But quite a few people made comments on the matter. Rivaba Jadeja won with over 50,000 votes in the Gujarat elections. it seems she too liked that post. Of late, there are rumors of rift between MS Dhoni and Jadeja. She contested from Jamnagar which is the Rajputana hotbed of Gujarat. It is normal to see excessive trolling of players and their wives but this is a first time instance.
