Talking about the IPL 2023, Ravindra Jadeja once again proved that there is a reason why he is called ‘Sir’ Ravindra Jadeja. With 10 required off the last two balls, the flamboyant batter smashed the first one for a six and then for a four to seal the night for CSK.

Both @ChennaiIPL and @gujarat titans fought fiercely, but Chennai's batting depth proved to be the winning factor, just as I had mentioned. Choosing a winner was no easy task given the exceptional performances of both teams from the very beginning. It was only fitting that the match unfolded with nail-biting intensity until the very last ball.”
