Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore faced each other in a mouthwatering clash on Sunday afternoon. The top of the table clash gathered a lot of anticipation from fans but turned out to be a rather one-sided contest. Ravindra Jadeja shone in all three departments and helped CSK handing a thumping 69-run defeat to RCB.

Jadeja was everywhere in the ground as he contributed, first, with the bat before coming into the party with the ball as well. Also, he affected a sharp runout as well.

Meanwhile, Jadeja found help from MS Dhoni to dismiss Glenn Maxwell, who could have turned the game on his own. While bowling to Maxwell, Dhoni asked Jadeja to keep bowling wicket to wicket without being afraid of getting hit.

Stump mic was quick in spotting Dhoni saying to Jadeja “Maarne de, soch ke maar mat khana (Let him hit, don’t be afraid of getting hit).”

A fan shared the video on Twitter of the same. See the video;

The dashing all-rounder first scored a blink-and-you-miss half-century. He took on RCB’s death over specialist Harshal Patel for cleaners and smashed 37 runs off the final over of the innings. Jadeja hit five sixes and a four to equal the record of Chris Gayle for the most runs in a single over. Patel looked all over the place and conceded a head-high no-ball as well, which made the matters even worse. It was Jadeja’s innings of 62 runs in 28 balls, which took CSK’s total to 191/4 in 20 overs.

This was not it from Jadeja as he returned with the ball to take three wickets as well. First, he removed Washington Sundar before claiming the big wickets of Maxwell and AB de Villiers. Also, he managed to runout Daniel Christian with a direct hit as well. CSK enjoyed this performance from their star all-rounder as they thrashed RCB to go top of the points table.
