Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 19: Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja recalled the moment when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni hugged and lifted him after the left-hand batter guided the franchise to the fifth title as they defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final. MS Dhoni Plays Helicopter Shot In Practice During CSK Pre-Season Camp At M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai Ahead of IPL 2024 (Watch Video).

In the 15th and final over, CSK found themselves on the edge, needing 10 runs off the last two balls. That's when the vastly experienced Jadeja swung the game in his team's favour, hitting medium-pacer Mohit Sharma for a six and a four.

CSK posted a video on their social media handle where the spinner is seen with the portrait of Dhoni lifting him on the night of the IPL 2023 final. "The moment from The Man himself," wrote CSK on X.
