In the third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and invited Chennai Super Kings to bat first and RR bowlers proved their captain’s decision right and destroyed CSK’s top order. Not only this, Ravindra Jadeja, playing against his old team, was also not left behind and he completely eliminated CSK from the match by taking two wickets in the very first over.
When Jadeja came to bowl his first over against his old team, impact player Sarfaraz Khan was playing on strike. He played Jadeja’s first ball comfortably but on the very next ball he tried to hit a six and completely messed up. The ball hit his pads and after an appeal the umpire gave him out. Sarfaraz also took the review but this review did not work for him and he had to go to the pavilion.
After this, Dubey shocked Jadeja by hitting a six on the third ball of Jadeja’s over, which was Shivam Dubey’s first ball. After this, Dubey played the next two balls comfortably but on the last ball he also tried to hit a six but was caught at long off. As soon as he was out, CSK team was badly on the back foot. The celebration of these two wickets by Jadeja was also worth seeing.
