Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opener Faf du Plessis revealed that the all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja has been working hard on his six-hitting skills and his last-over onslaught against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their IPL 2021 meeting on Sunday was “no fluke”. Faf du Plessis said  Jadeja’s batting has improved a lot over the years. Jadeja equalled the record for the most runs hit in a single over by a batsman as he smashed 37 runs against Harshal. 

After CSK’s win, Du Plessis said, “It was very good. Obviously, Jadeja has been playing really well this season, I think his batting has improved a lot. And there is no fluke, what happened in that last over. Jadeja hits a lot of sixes in his practice session. So, obviously, for us, that was a huge momentum shift. Till that point, it was pretty much a par-score around 160-165 and the great innings towards the end made a total probably a little bit too much on a slower wicket.”

Jadeja has made a fine start to IPL 2021 by contributing both with the bat and ball as well as with his fielding skills. So far, he has helped Chennai to reach the top of the points table with 4 wins from 5 matches. Faf du Plessis heaped rich praise on Jadeja, the fielder, adding he even tells his South Africa teammates to be careful when taking on the India superstar on the field.

Elaborating the same, Du Plessis said, “I have always thought, playing against Jadeja, he has always been the most dangerous fielder. So, when South Africa is playing India, we always talk about being very careful, about running twos to Jadeja on a boundary because he has got an absolute cannon of an arm.”
