Ravindra Jadeja’s ‘Title’ Plea Draws Epic Response from CSK After Spectacular Performance

Ravindra Jadeja’s candidacy for the T20 World Cup was questioned following a run of lackluster performances in the format for both the Indian team and Chennai Super Kings. But the all-rounder silenced all naysayers on Monday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium with an outstanding bowling display against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He contributed a cost-effective three-wicket haul to CSK’s seven-wicket victory. Jadeja asked the Chennai Super Kings for a special “title” after winning Player of the Match for his performance, and the team epically answered.

The presenter asked Jadeja if he had been awarded a title by the team during the post-match ceremony at Chepauk. CSK fans refer to former Chennai batter Suresh Raina as “Chinna Thala” and MS Dhoni as “Thala.” Upon learning that some have proposed the term “Cricket Thalapathy,” Jadeja disclosed that, in contrast to Dhoni and Raina, he is still awaiting certification. “Hopefully they’ll give me one, but my title hasn’t been verified yet,” said a cheerful Jadeja.

The most runs Chennai has given up in the current IPL 2024 powerplay was 56, even after they removed Phil Salt from the game in the first ball of play. Still, the home team came back because of Jadeja’s unwavering spell. Before dismissing Venkatesh Iyer in the following over, he removed Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi from the game in the first ball following the powerplay. After finishing with 3 for 18, the left-arm bowled 11 dot balls in between, helping Chennai limit KKR to 137 for 9.

“I like to bowl on this track every time. I was expecting that if you bowl in the appropriate spots, the ball will grab a little bit and aid you. In his post-match remarks, Jadeja stated that it takes time for visiting teams to settle in and make plans. Chennai, the home team, secured their third victory in the 2024 Indian Premier League, winning the run chase with 14 balls remaining after captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a patient 67* off 58 balls.
