Shashtri praises Jadeja, reveals his hilarious nickname
The cricket fraternity, especially in India, is currently going through an obsession over Chennai Super Kings’ star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who single-handedly steered his team to a 69-run win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Sunday. Team India head coach Ravi Shastri also joined the bandwagon. Current and former cricketers, fans, experts, and commentators have taken to Twitter to applaud Jadeja who smashed 62 off 28 balls, including smashing 37 runs off the last over of the first innings and pocketed 3/13 in 4 overs in the second. Ravi Shastri also took Twitter to lavish rich praise on the Indian player and revealed his hilarious nickname. He wrote: "Not for nothing we call him Gary Jadeja. Sheer brilliance -@imjadeja @ChennaiIPL #IPL2021 #CSKvRCB" Reeling at 117/3 in 15 overs, CSK needed a strong finish and they got just that. Jadeja's blistering knock powered CSK to 191/4.
In response, RCB started ferociously with opener Devdutt Padikkal only dealing in boundaries. They surged to 44/0 in three overs. CSK then, through Sam Curran and Shardul Thakur clawed their way back. While Curran dismissed RCB skipper Virat Kohli for 8, Thakur sent Padikkal packing on 34.
