No one should worry about the form of Ravindra Jadeja- Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar was having an interaction with Sports Tak and said that Ravindra Jadeja is a versatile cricketer adding that breaking a six and a four in the last 2 innings was never easy when CSK required 10 runs to win from 2 balls.
“No one should worry about Ravindra Jadeja’s form. He can do anything with his batting, bowling or on the field. He too did the same in the IPL final, scoring six and four in the last two installments.” Sunil Gavaskar said.
The batting legend feels skipper MS Dhoni is going to “leave a lot of memories” and everything he did on the field is worth remembering. He also praised Dhoni for his brilliant lightning-fast strike to dismiss Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Shubman Gill in the final.
“MS Dhoni has won the title five times. He will leave many memories. From the way he hit sixes, to his hits and catches, to his captaincy, it’s all worth remembering.”
“He [MS Dhoni] he is a 41 year old man but he looks like his hands like. He evicted the bonds so cleanly. It was very important for CSK as he was the wicket for a batsman who has been in great form. He, too, had scored 39 runs in the final and looked like he was ready to take another big hit.”
