Chennai Super Kings CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has always been a subject of discussion on the micro-blogging website- Twitter. And when the spinner clean bowled the skipper of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Virat Kohli, the internet couldn’t keep calm.

Kohli came in to bat following the dismissal of Brendon McCullum. But the right-hand batsman could only manage eight runs as Jadeja castled his stumps in style.

Interestingly, the bowler didn’t celebrate and rather kept a clueless expression on his face. He was in two minds on whether to celebrate the big scalp or just stay mute as Kohli also happens to be skipper of the national team.

Jadeja castles RCB:

Apart from Parthiv Patel, who came in place of gloveman Quinton de Kock, no one else fired through all cylinders.

Moreover, Patel hit five fours and two lusty sixes to score a fifty. But he was soon dismissed by Jadeja, as the spinner bagged one more.

Jadeja finished his quota of four overs with three wickets, conceding just 18 runs.

The all-rounder has been missing from the Indian side after Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal started sizzling while donning blue.

Jadeja was part of India’s squad for the Test series in South Africa, but played no vital part in the contest. He is looking to make a comeback in the national fold, as Men in Blue are preparing for the 2019 World Cup.

Even though Kohli has always maintained that the slots are up for grabs ahead of the mega event, but all doesn’t look well and good.

Jadeja’s reaction to Kohli’s dismissal has been the talking point on the internet. It has been turned into memes and funny clips and with time, we expect more of such tweets.

On the other side, many termed it hilarious while some of the fans had no idea why the spinner Ravindra Jadeja didn’t express is a delight.
