CSK vs RR IPL 2023: Ravindra Jadeja has been one of the most crucial players for CSK. His ability to take quick wickets and turnaround the match has been appreciated every now and then. In today’s match against RR, he once again showed why he is called a pioneer of the same. He dismissed Devdutt Padikkal and skipper Sanju Samson in the span of just three balls.
Jaddu strikes with back-to-back wickets
After an early setback i.e. opener Jaiswal (10 off 8 balls) in just second over. Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal took on the charge, however, and continued to smack the bowlers around the ground. They eventually reached the score of 86 runs in just 8 overs, with Buttler slamming two back to back sixes just in the last over.
However, as they both looked threatening, MSD called in Jadeja to bowl the ninth over. He gave just two runs in the first two balls. On the third ball, he gave a major breakthrough as he dismissed Devdutt Padikkal who was caught by Conway at the deep backward square leg. Devdutt couldn’t time it well and had a top edge, eventually getting dismissed for a score of 38 off 26 balls.
The fourth ball of the over went for dot. However, this was not the end. On the fifth ball, he delivered a short-length ball and bowled out the skipper Sanju Samson for a duck. Two back to back to wickets including that of the skipper’s jolted the hopes of RR fans. There could have been another wicket at the sixth ball but Moeen Ali, who was standing at the slip dropped the catch of Ashwin on zero. Ashwin then went on to score 30 runs off 22 balls.
