As Chennai Super Kings clashed with Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede stadium, Ravindra Jadeja stepped up to the occasion turning the high-octane battle into a one-man show as he single-handedly demolished Virat Kohli and his men. The ace all-rounder first powered CSK to a competitive total of 191 as he scored 62 runs off 28 balls. Unleashing complete carnage in the last over of the first innings, Jadeja scored 36 runs off Harshal Patel - the purple cap holder in the tournament.
Jadeja then swung into action with the ball as he bagged three key wickets to complete rattle the RCB batting lineup. He accounted for Washington Sundar and clean bowled RCB batting stalwarts AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell. Despite his heroics with the bat and ball, 'Sir' Ravindra Jadeja was not done yet. The all-rounder put his fielding skills once again on display as he hit the bullseye to run-out Dan Christian.
Taking on IPL 2021 table-toppers, CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja completely demolished RCB with his stellar all-round show. Jadeja's last-over thrashing against Harshal Patel was the highlight of the game as CSK dethroned RCB from the top with a win at the Wankhede. #CSKvRCB pic.twitter.com/KRZenvXQkA

Amid Jadeja's heroics against Bangalore, skipper MS Dhoni's 8-year-old tweets have been brought back from the dead to cherish the CSK's all-rounder's one-man show. A series of tweets by MS Dhoni have resurfaced in which the CSK skipper jokes about Jadeja's 'superhuman' abilities, thereby, bragging about his all-round abilities and humorously honouring him with the title 'Sir'. In one of the tweets, Dhoni also compares Jadeja with Tamil superstar Rajinikanth as he quips that since the actor was getting old, God created Ravindra Jadeja. Here are the tweets:
Wen sir jadeja drives his jeep, his jeep remains still and road moves and wen he goes in to bat the pavillion moves to the wkt
