Ravindra Jadeja, Star India all-rounder, remembers the jubilant embrace from MS Dhoni, captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), after leading the team to its fifth IPL victory by defeating Gujarat Titans in the 2023 final. In a nail-biting finale, with CSK needing 10 runs from the final two balls, Jadeja’s expertise shone through as he scored a crucial six and a four off Mohit Sharma, tipping the scales in CSK’s favor.

CSK shared this memorable moment on social media, featuring Jadeja with an image of Dhoni lifting him in celebration, captioned as “The moment from The Man himself” on X.
