During the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, something special happened for CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. The CSK fans decided to honor him for his incredible contributions to the team. This decision was buzzing on social media before the match even began.
Jadeja is no stranger to making impactful plays for CSK. In the IPL 2023 final against Gujarat, he played a crucial role in helping CSK secure their fifth IPL title. His unbeaten 15 runs off just six balls, including smashing 10 runs in the last two balls, are still remembered vividly by fans.
At 7:38 PM IST, the sea of yellow jerseys stood up and chanted “Jaddu”
At 7:38 PM IST, as planned by the CSK fans, a touching tribute was paid to Jadeja at the Chepauk stadium. The sea of yellow jerseys stood up and chanted “Jaddu” as a mark of respect and appreciation for the Indian all-rounder. However, this heartwarming moment coincided with another noteworthy Ravindra’s performance on the field, but this time it was Rachin Ravindra from New Zealand.
Rachin Ravindra’s quickfire innings caught the attention of the spectators as he showcased his batting prowess with a six and a four. This momentarily caused confusion among the fans, but CSK clarified the situation later.
Chennai’s batting display against GT was nothing short of spectacular. They started aggressively with a 62-run opening partnership, with Rachin Ravindra leading the charge with his explosive 46 off just 20 balls. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad continued the momentum with a solid 36-ball 46.
Shivam Dube’s blitzkrieg, featuring five sixes and two boundaries, added further impetus to the innings as he scored a blistering 51 off 23 balls. Adding to the excitement, newcomer Sameer Rizvi showcased his talent by taking on the renowned Rashid Khan, scoring 14 off just 6 balls.
