Cricketer Ravi Jadeja launches his own restaurant in Rajkot

"I am not much of a foodie but I wanted to do some business with cricket and people in Rajkot are foodies. So, I launched my restaurant in Rajkot," Jadeja said while inaugurating his restaurant based on a cricket theme.

The restaurant will serve Punjabi, Chinese, continental and South Indian dishes, he said.

Ravindra inaugurated his restaurant by displaying his signed cricket bat and said that in future, some Indian team members' autographed cricket bats would also be displayed.

"The restaurant will open for people on December 12," he said adding "the number 12 is my lucky number and I wanted to make it open to the people on 12-12-12".

Asked why he selected Rajkot, he said he had a special attachment to the city.

He also expressed a desire to launch a cricket academy in the future.

Jadeja was recently selected for the national team to play the fourth and final test match against England starting from December 13 at Nagpur.
