‘Dil se bura lagta hai bhai’ – Twitter reacts to Ravindra Jadeja’s ‘they chant Mahi bhai’s name, wait for me to get out’ comment following win against DC
Ravindra Jadeja
Chennai Super Kings showcased their dominance once again as they triumphed over the Delhi Capitals in a clinical performance at the Chepauk Stadium on Wednesday, bringing them closer to securing a spot in the IPL 2023 playoffs. Ravindra Jadeja played a pivotal role with both bat and ball, earning him the well-deserved Player of the Match award. While the 34-year-old claimed a crucial wicket, he also contributed 21 runs off just 16 balls as CSK secured a convincing 27-run victory over DC.
Jadeja, who has been in exceptional form since his return from injury, finally broke his silence on his batting position, addressing the fact that he often bats ahead of the crowd favorite, MS Dhoni, who traditionally plays the role of a finisher in the final stages of matches. When asked about batting higher, Jadeja humbly responded, “I keep hearing Mahi bhai’s chants. If I bat higher, then the crowd will wait for me to get out. As long as the team wins, I am happy,” during the post-match presentation ceremony.
CSK’s success was not limited to Jadeja’s heroics, as their bowlers displayed exceptional skills against David Warner and his teammates. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, captain Dhoni guided his team to a respectable total of 167/8 in their allotted 20 overs. Six batsmen from the Yellow Army contributed with scores in the twenties, setting up a competitive target. The CSK bowlers then rose to the occasion, restricting Delhi to a mere 140/8. Deepak Chahar claimed two wickets, while Matheesha Pathirana once again impressed with three scalps.
Jadeja emphasized the effectiveness of the CSK bowlers, acknowledging their ability to exploit the conditions at the Chepauk. He stated, “As a spinner, it feels good when the ball is turning and holding. We practice here, we know what’s the ideal length and pace. The visiting team needs time to adapt. We are taking advantage of the home conditions. Everyone’s doing their job. We are doing a good job collectively.”
With another comprehensive victory under their belt, Chennai Super Kings are steadily approaching the IPL 2023 playoffs. Their all-round performance, led by the exceptional display of Ravindra Jadeja, has solidified their position as one of the most formidable teams in the tournament.
