Jadeja thanks PM Modi for inspiring Indians to stay fit

New Delhi: India’s ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inspiring all the Indians across the world to stay fit.

Jadeja's gesture came a day after Prime Minister Modi was seen riding a bicycle which was gifted to him by his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte during his visit to the Netherlands.

The Indian cricketer is currently with the national squad in West Indies for the limited-overs series, comprising of five ODIs and lone T20I.

Following the Prime Minister's footsteps, Jadeja also went for a bicycle ride outside the team hotel in the Caribbean on Thursday morning.
