Jadeja's three-wicket haul seals low-scoring win for CSK against KKR

Ravindra Jadeja, at home in the swinger-friendly pitch at Chepauk pulled by Chennai Super Kings to win by 7 wickets. This was after the Kolkata Knight Riders lost a match to them. Jadeja, whose torrid spin bowling came under the spotlight in the last few seasons, clinically took 3 wickets in the space of 8 deliveries, echoing that. As a result, KKR could muster only 137 for 9, when stroke-making became a thing of the past on a pitch where it was difficult to play shots.

Jadeja puts an end to the drought:

The Chepauk, which was formerly the preferred location for spinners, has shown no signs of it this season. Instead of attempting to utilize their whole hitting arsenal, they have attempted to play on first-day pitches, when 180–190 is seen as a respectable score. It indicated that Chennai had not choked the opposition with their spinners.

Chennai's spinners have not even claimed a wicket against their home team until Monday's match. With Matheesha Pathirana out of the picture and the rest of their assault lacking bite, Ravindra Jadeja was the one who got Chennai back into the game. Additionally, he had put Chennai ahead on the score sheet when he finished his run at the trot.

Jadeja looked to grab the initiative decisively in favor of CSK with three wickets in eight balls.
