Guwahati: Ravindra Jadeja wore the pink jersey of Rajasthan Royals after 17 years. In the very first match, the old team Chennai Super Kings were in front. The result was that CSK was all out for 127 and Rajasthan achieved the target in 12.1 overs. Jadeja took two wickets for 18 runs in three overs, with Shivam Dubey and Sarfaraz Khan both becoming his victims.
Jadeja was asked whether he had spoken to MS Dhoni. The answer made everyone laugh. Jadeja smiled and said that the conversation did not happen because Mahi Bhai keeps the phone switched off. Then he said that whenever I meet Mahi Bhai, I will talk to him a lot. This one line was enough. To get an idea of the friendship between the two who played together in CSK for a long time.
Seeing Jadeja back in Rajasthan Royals colors brought back memories for the old fans. Jadeja himself also looked happy about this comeback. She said that she thinks pink color looks good on her. His performance on the field also proved this.
Both of Jadeja's wickets were important, he dismissed Shivam Dubey and Sarfaraz Khan. Jadeja told that his thinking about Dubey was already decided. According to him, he has known Shivam Dubey for a long time. He knew he would like to play big shots, so he bowled the ball outside the off stump. This preparation worked.
The Guwahati pitch turned out to suit Jadeja's temperament. He said that the wicket was a bit sticky and the ball was turning, so it was fun to bowl. His job was only to bowl the ball at the right place, the pitch did the rest.
The target of 127 runs was small, but Jadeja did not let the team relax. He said that nothing can be said in cricket. Work hard, give 100 percent. Vaibhav Suryavanshi made the chase easy by scoring 52 runs in 17 balls, but Jadeja's bowling had already decided the course of the match. This comeback of Jadeja is not just the victory of one match, it is the story of the spirit of an experienced player which becomes stronger with age.
