He led the team until 2011 and later returned as a mentor for IPL 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span class=\"cf0\">In a clip shared by RR on YouTube, Jadeja said he would miss Warne as he returns to the franchise for the first time since 2009, adding that he would not be where he is today without Warne\u2019s support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span class=\"cf0\">\u201cDefinitely. I got a chance to play for the Rajasthan Royals again and we are performing well. If we win the trophy, we will obviously dedicate it to Shane Warne. His role at the beginning of my journey was very important,&#8221; Jadeja said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><iframe title=\"Homecoming ft.

I went to England and he would come to commentate. So, I would meet him and talk to him then. He always supported me and told me what improvements I needed to bring into my game,&#8221; Jadeja said.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3891331355 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 22, 2025, 23:52 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-3891331355 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> &#8216;We Will Dedicate It To&#8230;&#8217;: Ravindra Jadeja Honours Late Icon Before Joining RR<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
