Jadeja garnered more attention for his social media posts than for his on-field contributions, and couldn’t have picked a better moment to make amends.
Chennai Super Kings were declared champions on May 30 after defeating Gujarat Titans by five wickets (DLS) to win a record-equaling fifth IPL championship.
After CSK reached their revised target of 171 in 15 overs, they were joined by Rohit Sharma as the joint-most successful captain in IPL history. The last-ball thriller was absolutely suspenseful and gripping.
With 10 needed off of two balls against the hot-and-in-form Mohit Sharm. Ravindra Jadeja’s composure helped Chennai cross the finish line in a game that remained unpredictable right up until the very end
However, after five losses, he was relieved of his duties and Dhoni was given the reins once more. There have been numerous reports of a rift between CSK and their star all-rounder Jadeja as a result of the apparently unappealing move.
An emotional storm was sparked by Ravindra Jadeja’s final play

Jadeja’s near-six-month absence due to a knee injury in the following months wasn’t very comforting either. However, despite all the rumors about his altercation and other unsavory behavior during this IPL.
Dube had hit back-to-back sixes off Rashid Khan, but he was still a long way from being fluent. Prior to being given the ball to bowl the final over of the innings. Mohit had only faced three deliveries for four runs.
As the cunning old customer that he is, Mohit gave it everything he had, bowling a . Ball and then only allowing three singles out of the following three, which was an excellent start.
When the solution was 10 off 2, Jadeja realized it was now or never. His response is to go down the wicket for a six over the bowler’s head, which he does with a bang.
Jadeja’s wife Riva sobbed in the audience before finally letting out a loud “WOAH” at the conclusion.
“I was just contemplating the need to always swing hard. Absolutely anything is possible. Because Mohit can bowl slower ones, I was aiming to hit straight. Wishing to congratulate each and every CSK supporter”. After the game, Jadeja advised the crowd to continue cheering in the same manner.
Ambati Rayudu had fun by smashing a hat-trick of sixes off Mohit to free CSK from their chains. GT had one foot inside the door before Jadeja slammed it shut. But once he got the next ball out and Dhoni’s crunch drive found the fielder for a golden duck.
