As far as the result of the match between CSK and KKR is concerned, the Chennai-based team suffered a six wickets defeat in the contest. Although Shivam Dube scored a quickfire 48 off 34 balls for CSK and powered his side to a competitive total of 144/6, Chennai bowlers failed to defend the target and eventually ended up losing.
However, despite the loss, CSK players did a lap of honour with smiling faces and thanked their fans for the support by distributing goodies as it was their last home match of the league stage.
Speaking of Jadeja’s form in the IPL 2023, the Chennai all-rounder has so far been in great touch. The left-arm spinner has scalped sixteen wickets in thirteen games at an economy of 7.22. Jadeja also contributed with the bat for his team in the ongoing tournament and amassed 133 runs at a strike rate of 127.88. The CSK cricketer even bagged ‘Player of the Match’ award in three instances for his exceptional performance.
Jadeja will now be seen in action when Chennai faces Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on May 20 in their final league stage match.
