da stake casino： Generally overshadowed by Dhoni-mania this season, he reminded the fans on Tuesday why he is a superstar in his own right
da poker： Deivarayan Muthu24-May-2023. If I bat higher, then the crowd will wait for me to get out.”This was Ravindra Jadeja after winning the Player-of-the-Match award against Delhi Capitals at Chepauk earlier this month. His work often gets overshadowed, and others profit from it. Like the Chepauk DJ, who cued up (Will you forgive me?) from actor Silambarasan TR’s movie in CSK’s next game at Chepauk, against Kolkata Knight Riders, when Jadeja walked out to bat. Chepauk thought it was clever and laughed.Over the season, Dhoni has elicited iconic numbers of superstar Rajinikanth, for his entry to the crease, which have gone viral on social media. Even away from Chepauk, CSK’s fans have given Jadeja the cold shoulder. For instance, in the reverse fixture against Capitals in Delhi, the crowd screamed: “Single! Single! Single!” because they were desperate to see Dhoni take the strike.Related

In the first qualifier against defending champions Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, Jadeja had the Chepauk crowd chanting his name for the time this IPL. His 16-ball 22 and 2 for 18 in four overs, including the vital wicket of David Miller, helped put CSK in their tenth IPL final. Nearly two months after joining CSK in Chennai, Jadeja finally got some yellove from the fans.When Jadeja had walked out to bat, ahead of Dhoni, there was a sense of restlessness among the Chennai crowd once again. They had turned up to see their smash sixes in what might be his last game in the city. Dhoni fell for 1, but Jadeja roused the crowd when he manufactured swinging room and carted Mohit Sharma’s 101kph slower ball over extra-cover. The crowd was right behind Jadeja once again when he whipped a full toss from Mohammed Shami over midwicket for four more in the last over of CSK’s innings.Earlier this season, Jadeja’s wicket was celebrated by Chepauk because it would bring Dhoni to the crease. On Tuesday, they sent Jadeja off with generous applause.Jadeja wasn’t done yet. He produced his most telling contribution with the ball on a helpful surface to put Titans’ chase of 173 beyond their reach. He let it rip by extracting quick turn and relentlessly attacking the stumps. Dasun Shanaka aimed to manufacture a reverse sweep from the stumps, but Jadeja found a hint of extra bounce to have him splicing it to short third.
