IPL 2021 | Omnipresent Jadeja inflicts RCB's first defeat of the season
India TV NewsThe irrepressible Ravindra Jadeja blasted an IPL record-equalling 37 runs in one over and then grabbed three big wickets in an outstanding all-round display as Chennai Super Kings crushed Royal Challengers Bangalore by 69 runs here on Sunday. Jadeja pummelled 62 off 28 balls and lifted CSK to 191 for four after skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni opted to bat in a top-of-the-table clash. Jadeja began the final over of CSK innings by clobbering four consecutive sixes off Harshal Patel before adding another off the fifth ball. With CSK placed at 154/4 when Harshal was handed the ball, Jadeja hit the first four balls for towering sixes and followed them with another maximum and a boundary in the seven-ball final over. Earlier, a second straight half-century for Faf du Plessis propelled CSK before Harshal delivered a double blow for RCB in the 14th over, getting rid of Suresh Raina and the former South African captain off successive deliveries.
