In the 61st IPL match between CSK and RR at the home ground of CSK, which was MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The expectation took a sudden U-turn with the controversial dismissal of R Jadeja. The accident occurred in the 16th over of CSK’s innings, and that changed the whole match. Avesh Khan’s ball, set outside the third-man region, drew out Jadeja to hit it and run a couple more runs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad’s hesitation in completing the run led to a moment of confusion as he was running towards the non-striker’s end, and this is when Sanju Samson quickly threw the ball aimed at Jadeja. In a confusing situation, Jadeja’s movement was quite unsure about the running back to the non-striker end, which led him to lose his wicket.
