Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja had a lot to celebrate after his team secured their place in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final for a record 10th time. CSK emerged victorious against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in “Qualifier 1” on Tuesday, May 23, with Jadeja playing a pivotal role in the team’s success.
Jadeja showcased his all-around prowess in the match against the Titans, making valuable contributions with both bat and ball. As a left-handed batsman, he played a crucial role in the death overs, scoring 22 runs off just 16 balls. On the bowling front, Jadeja proved to be the most economical bowler for CSK, claiming two wickets while conceding a mere 18 runs in his four overs.
Following his impressive performance, Jadeja was rightfully awarded the Most Valuable Asset of the Match. However, in a cryptic tweet, he took a subtle jab at a section of CSK fans who had been cheering for his dismissal throughout the tournament. These spectators, hoping to catch a glimpse of captain MS Dhoni, would cheer for singles whenever Jadeja was at the crease during the match against the Delhi Capitals.
Despite the distractions, Jadeja has showcased his skills throughout the IPL 2023 season. With the bat, he has scored 153 runs in 11 innings, maintaining a moderate strike rate of 137.84. His best knock of an unbeaten 25* helped the team secure important runs. Additionally, as a left-arm spinner, Jadeja has excelled, claiming an impressive 17 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 22.06.
With their victory in “Qualifier 1,” the four-time IPL champions have earned a place in the final, scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 28, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Led by the indomitable MS Dhoni, CSK now has a golden opportunity to become the most successful franchise in IPL history by clinching their fifth title.
As CSK prepares for the final, the team can take pride in their consistent performances and the exceptional contributions of players like Ravindra Jadeja, who have risen above distractions to deliver remarkable performances on the field.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Ravindra Jadeja’s cheeky comments on CSK fans:
The csk fans did a trend for #welovejadeja a week back just to show the love to you
These kind of tweets are just unwarranted
Dravid used to get cheers when he got out just cos people wanted to see Sachin
That dint mean people dint like Dravid

Arae yaar!! It definitely feels odd and childish buddy. Almost 99% of the fans are cheering for you and value your contribution. Ppl are trying to make a most of the situation. Since it might be MSD's last season, some fans behave that way. Do well for the team as you always does
