Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have witnessed a forgettable outing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 so far. The Men in Yellow have lost all their three games in the tournament so far. To note, Indian allrounder Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the CSK captain, as MS Dhoni stepped down ahead of the tournament.
With the Yellow Army set to lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 9 (Saturday), the CSK cricketers were seen having a recovery session by playing basketball. Jadeja, who is considered one of the finest all-rounders in the cricketing world, also seems to be doing a pretty good job in basketball as well.

In a 31-second video, Jadeja can be seen making several attempts, before nailing a no-look shot to perfection. The 33-year old seemed to enjoy the moment, as he was seen pumping his fist and roaring out loud in the video.

With the ball, Ravindra Jadeja has scalped 128 wickets at an average of 30.44. The left-arm spinner bowls at an economy of 7.62 and has one five-wicket haul under his belt.

Meanwhile, the defending champions CSK will look to bounce back with a win over SRH. They started their campaign with a disappointing loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their opening match, before losing their next two encounters against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS).
