In the 22nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), defending champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by seven wickets, and Ravindra Jadeja recorded a record-tying 15th Player of the Match award. (
At Chennai’s legendary Chepauk, former CSK captain Jadeja put on a dream comeback, taking three wickets for eighteen runs in just four overs. But he was right in the thick of things from the first ball. With the first delivery of the game, Tushar Deshpande scored when Phil Salt was caught at point by Jadeja.
Despite the early blow, the visitors quickly reached 56 runs in 36 balls, which was CSK’s most costly powerplay at Chepauk in the 2024 Indian Premier League. Unheralded Angkrish Raghuvanshi took command with a barrage of boundaries alongside veteran batsman Sunil Narine. But Jadeja’s arrival altered the trajectory of the game.
