IPL 2019: Twitter Takes a Dig at Ravindra Jadeja For Shane Watson's Untimely Runout

Chennai Super Kings failed to complete the double of winning consecutive Indian Premier League trophies as they went down as Mumbai Indians by one run in a picturesque final clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Chennai looked in the scheme of things until Shane Watson’s untimely runout in the fourth delivery of the last over of the match.

Batting first, Chennai Super Kings bowlers once again presented a top-class performance to contain Mumbai Indians to 149 runs. After a flying start, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar put a brake on the run-flow and kept chipping in with crucial wickets to keep Mumbai Indians at bay. However, some late blows from Kieron Pollard helped the champions to post a challenging total on the board.

During the chase, Faf du Plessis gave Chennai a swashbuckling start before Mumbai banked on Rahul Chahar to nip back in the middle overs. But Shane Watson who got a handful of lives was still in the middle leading the charge for the defending champions. He took 40 runs from two overs to change the momentum of the game before Watson got runout in the last over which took the game to Mumbai’s favour.

It was an utter confusion from Ravindra Jadeja and Shane Watson while taking the second run. The half-hearted yes without proper consent ends up with Watson falling short. The throw was fat from Krunal Pandya, which Quinton de Kock collects from well behind the stumps and under-arms it onto the stumps. Lasith Maling then bowled two perfect yorkers to hand Mumbai Indians their fourth IPL title.

Meanwhile, the untimely runout of Shane Watson irked the fans, and they took a dig at Ravindra Jadeja. Here is how they vented their anger on Twitter:

Ravindra Jadeja comes to bat & the game changes in favor of opposition. Not the first time that happened, wonder if it will happen again in this World Cup #IPL2019Final #MIvCSK

Poor Shane Watson. If a batsman is striking the ball well, is gettling all the lucky breaks & opposition can't get out by any means… then just make him bat with Ravindra Jadeja & he will be back to pavillion #MIvCSK #IPL2019Final

Ravi Jadeja's anxiety for the extra run cost us Shane Watson run out yesterday. How crucial was that. Sometimes, It's not just only the speed. Jadeja should be more sensible while running.!! #IPL2019Final #CSKvMI
