Ravindra Jadeja’s Hilarious MS Dhoni Joke: ‘I’m the Only Guy Lifted by Mahi Bhai after Sakshi Bhabhi

Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans in a rain-soaked IPL 2023 final to win their record-tying fifth title. With the victory, CSK tied the record number of titles held by MI and solidified MS Dhoni’s status as one of the greatest leaders in cricket history.

GT reached 214/4 in 20 overs thanks to a 96-run innings off 47 balls by Sai Sudharsan, and even Wriddhiman Saha (54) scored a half-century. Although it appeared to be a formidable total, the weather gods had other ideas, and torrential rain fell during the first over of the chase. Then, because of the DLS technique, CSK had to reset their goal to 171 runs in 15 overs.

CSK needed 13 runs in the last over, with Ravindra Jadeja (4*) and Shivam Dube (30*) batting, with the team at 158/5 after 14 overs. The two took three singles in the first four deliveries, bringing the match to a close. Mohit Sharma threw a yorker that Jadeja smacked over long-on for a six, sending CSK supporters into a frenzy as they needed to defend 10 runs in two balls. Then, with the game-winning four in the last delivery, Mohit struck a low full toss on the pads that Jadeja deflected to the left of the short fine.

As soon as the all-rounder reached the boundary, he raced to captain MS Dhoni, who gave him credit for his game-winning effort—something we don’t often see from the former captain of India. At a recent CSK promotional event, Jadeja joked about Dhoni’s birthday. “I think I am the only guy who was lifted by Mahi bhai after Sakshi bhabhi,” said Jadeja, making everyone laugh.

Dhoni, meanwhile, was full of compliments for his teammate. “And in this case as well, you know, I was pretty confident that Jaddu has the skill and attitude to reach the goal,” he remarked. Once more, though, there’s no guarantee that this will occur. It was a truly remarkable half-hour. You are aware of the couple of sixes he smashed before the final ball. I believe they were challenging.”

“When I bat down the order, I realize how hard it is to get that sort of elevation and win it for six, even if it appears easy when watching on TV. Additionally, everyone is under pressure at the same moment. Both the opposition and ourselves are interested in winning. Everyone is working really hard. I’m very happy we came out on top. And there was a great deal of emotion. Thus, a hearty round of applause for Jaddu for his batting performance,” he continued.

On the eve of the CSK vs. RCB IPL 2024 opener, supporters were taken aback when Dhoni gave the captaincy to rookie Ruturaj Gaikwad. With two victories in two games, CSK has gotten off to a great start under Gaikwad’s direction and is currently leading the league.
