The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja has received a memento as a gift with a sword mounted on it by his Indian Premier League (IPL) team, a gift the all-rounder is thankful for. Head coach Stephen Fleming presented Jadeja with the gift in the presence of CSK skipper MS Dhoni.
Jadeja’s name along with “The Rajput Boy” was inscribed on the memento followed by Jadeja’s IPL achievements: “Only Indian player to get 100+ wickets and 1900+ runs in IPL. Most wickets by any left-arm spinner in IPL – 108 wickets.”

Jadeja will be playing a crucial role in the CSK camp, useful to the team as a lower-order hitter and key spinner. In the absence of Harbhajan Singh, who pulled out of IPL 2020 citing personal reasons, Jadeja could be the lead spinner in the XI.
CSK had a delayed start to their preparations for IPL 2020 due to the sudden reveal of COVID-19 positive cases in their camp as two players along with 13 members of their contingent tested positive. Deepak Chahar, one of the players who had tested positive, has returned two negative tests subsequently and has re-joined the squad.
