Ravindra Jadeja Celebrates In Style After Catching To End RCB Chase. The relief was palpable after Ravindra Jadeja caught Dinesh Karthik and effectively sealed Chennai Super Kings’ first win of the season.
For a brief moment during Tuesday’s high-scoring thriller between CSK and RCB. It appeared Dinesh Karthik would do the impossible and take the game away from Ravindra Jadeja’s team. Leaving them winless after five matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. With the target set at 217 and the top order falling early, RCB were looking at a steep chase, but Karthik – in the form of his life – looked to be playing another blinder to lead RCB to an unlikely win.
CSK, on the other hand, held their nerves, and captain Jadeja took a fine catch in the deep to end Karthik’s blitzkrieg in the 18th over.
The RCB wicketkeeper-batter attempted to swat Dwayne Bravo over midwicket but was unable to clear Jadeja in the deep.
The CSK captain has a safe pair of hands, and he held on comfortably before pulling out a celebration that showed his relief at finally securing a win this season.
