Barely a month after Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's wife joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, his father and sister have joined the Congress in Gujarat.
He also picked Mahendra Singh Dhoni as his favourite all-rounder among current cricketers.
Harbhajan Singh said while the wicket was difficult to bat, it was not unplayable.
In what was their last game before the showpiece event in the United Kingdom, the Indian innings folded for 237, exactly in 50 overs while chasing a 273-run target.
Ravindra Jadeja is the third Indian to score 2000 runs and take over 150 wickets in ODI cricket.
The wrist spinner duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have been regular feature in India's ODI format confining finger spinner R Ashwin to the sidelines and relegating Ravindra Jadeja as the third specialist spinner.
Last year, Rivaba was appointed as the head of Karni Sena's women’s wing in Gujarat.
The BCCI Medical team decided to rest the all-rounder and let him undergo strength and conditioning work for his lower back at the NCA.
Wrist spinners Kuldeep and Chahal have become India's preferred choices in the shorter formats over the last 18 months, while Jadeja and R Ashwin have gone down in the pecking order.
Kuldeep Yadav has so far played just six Tests and picked up 24 wickets at an average of 24.12.
It was during the 19th over of Australia's innings when Jadeja caught the ball and threw the ball directly to take the bails off before Khawaja could reach the crease.
Kohli has distanced the team from the controversy by saying that the side does not stand by the duo on the issue.
He added that he has found a way to deal with the issue and so is not "too concerned" about it.
O'Keeffe's comments also didn't go down well with India coach Ravi Shashtri, bowling coach Bharat Arun and skipper Virat Kohli.
The game on day 5 started late due to rain but when it stopped, Indian bowlers didn't waste much time to thrash the Kangaroos at their soil as won the match by 137 runs.
He also ruled out the possibility of the team lodging an official complaint against O'Keefe.
Bumrah's 47 wickets in 2018 are the most by an Indian bowler in away Tests in a year.
Kerry O'Keefe, who is commentating for Fox Cricket in Australia, was having a difficulty at pronouncing the names of Pujara and Jadeja.
Pat Cummins struck a valiant unbeaten half-century to keep India two wickets away from victory in Melbourne.
India finished day three with a healthy lead of 346 runs after Jasprit Bumrah's career-best 6/33 helped the visitors sink Australia for 151 in 1st innings.
