After registering his first win as the captain of Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja dedicated the victory to his wife in the post match presentation. Irfan Pathan, former Indian cricketer, in his tweet cheekily pulled the leg of Jaddu saying that he rightly dedicated the victory to his wife. Replying to him, the new CSK captain said that he need to go to him after the match which is why he dedicated the award to his wife.

On Tuesday, Team Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore faced each other for the first time in the ongoing IPL edition. Starting with a slow strike rate, team CSK managed to post the highest score of this season as Bangalore’s target.

With the help of Robin Uthappa’s 88 and Shivam Dube’s 95, CSK scored the massive total and made RCB to start their batting innings with score board pressure. The team started losing wickets in a regular intervel and ended up losing the match by 23 runs. CSK registered their first victory in the season as well.

In the post match presentation, Ravindra Jadeja who has been appointed as captain for the ongoing edition, said that he is dedicating the first victory of himself to his wife. “First of all, this is the first victory as a captain ever. I would like to dedicate to my wife and also the team because first victory is always special. Previous four games, we couldn’t cross the line. But as a team, we came good” the allrounder said during his speech.

“As a batting unit, everybody did a good job. Robbie and Shivam batted brilliantly. The bowlers contributed with the ball as well. Our management don’t put pressure on me, they are relaxed, they always come to me and motivate. As a captain, I am still picking brains of the senior players” Jadeja said and went on to talk about how the experienced personalities from the dressing room are helping the team.

“Mahi bhai is there, I always go to him and discuss. Moulding into a new role, it’ll take time to get things going. I am still learning and trying to get better with each game. We have plenty of experience in our dressing room. Experience comes into play, we don’t panic early. We try to keep ourselves calm, we back ourselves and we look to play positive cricket. We’ll look to push hard, we’ve got the momentum, we’ll try and continue the momentum” Jaddu added.

Entire internet heaped praise on CSK for the performance they pulled in the nearly do or die match. Among the many experts, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan came up with a tweet sarcastically appreciating Jadeja for dedicating the victory to his wife.
