CSK Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja has not been having a great time with the Indian Premier League of 2018 and yet, his attitude does not stray from headlines and has always been eye-catching. On Saturday, Jadeja delivered a clean-bowl to Virat Kohli the Captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the very first ball but his reaction? No celebration! Yes, There was absolutely no reaction from Jadeja.

To add more joy, Jadeja himself tweeted as reaction saying, “For Those Asking Why Didn’t I Celebrate Virat Kohli’s Wicket, Yes I Was Scared My Place In National Team Will Be Screwed.”

When asked about the curious incident, he said that it was his first ball. And, he was not ready to celebrate. However regardless, Virat’s wicket was a good wicket. And, he thought it was a good wicket as well. But Twitter did not stop there and the trollers kept trolling!

In this season for the most part, CSK has been a cut above the rest. As they served an amazing bowling stance. They restricted RCB to 127/9 in 20 overs. Unfortunately for RCB, Virat, McCullum and Ab de Villiers were off the game very quick. And only Parthiv Patel stood a great fighting chance with a 53. Harbajan Singh and Jadeja shared 5 wickets. They cornered their competition.
Jadeja was the best of the bowlers for Chennai. He finished with figures of 3/18 in his stipulated overs. For RCB, Tim Southee was a great player, stringing together a 34-run partnership with Mohammed Siraj. If you missed out on Match 34 IPL 2018, between MI and KXIP, read about it here.
