IPL 2022: Ravindra Jadeja Has A Hilarious Take On His Batting Position For Chennai Super Kings

Ravindra Jadeja was retained by Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction for 16 crores. Along with him, the franchise retained MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali. There are reports that MS Dhoni might well hand over the captaincy to Jadeja halfway through the season. The CSK skipper also said that he would play his last game in front of the home crowd in Chennai before retiring from his IPL career.

CSK’s official Twitter handle, put out a tweet in Tamil asking suggestions for their playing XI. In that XI, Ruturaj was slotted as the opener, Moeen Ali at number three, Dhoni and Jadeja at seven and eight respectively. Before his subtle dig, Jadeja asked for a translation of the tweet.

Translate pls?

In his next tweet, which was a hilarious take on his batting position, Jadeja responded by saying “No 8 too early for me ! Put me @ 11.” 

No 8 too early for me ! Put me @ 11??

Over the years, MS Dhoni along with Ravindra Jadeja have been the designated finishers for the franchise. Jadeja’s batting has improved by leaps and bounds after he has regularly batted for CSK in the IPL. Given his consistency with bat and ball, he is always amongst the top-allrounders across formats.

He played a defining role for CSK with the bat and ball in their title-winning season in 2021. He scored 227 runs at an impressive strike rate of 145.51, while taking 13 wickets with the bowl at an economy of just 7.06.
