The camaraderie between Jadeja and MS Dhoni extends back to their days playing together for the Indian national team. Over the course of nearly a decade as Chennai Super Kings teammates, their bond has flourished both on and off the pitch. It was Dhoni who affectionately bestowed upon Jadeja the moniker of ‘Sir Ravindra Jadeja’.
Widely regarded as Dhoni’s trusted ally, Jadeja played a pivotal role in Chennai Super Kings’ triumphant campaign in the previous IPL season. His heroic performance, including a decisive six and four off the last two deliveries to secure victory in the final against Gujarat Titans, further cemented his status as an indispensable asset to the team.
Following Chennai Super Kings’ IPL triumph in 2023, MS Dhoni’s profound emotions were palpable, evident in his tearful embrace of Jadeja after the latter’s match-winning contribution. The duo’s bond transcends mere cricketing partnerships, reflecting a deep-seated friendship rooted in shared triumphs and challenges.
With India now leading the Test series 3-1 after their victory in Ranchi, attention turns to the final showdown in Dharamsala. Despite having already secured the series, Team India remains steadfast in their quest for dominance, eager to clinch yet another resounding victory against England.
