Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed for ‘obstructing the field’ during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals on Monday. During the 16th over of CSK’s chase, Jadeja guided an Avesh Khan delivery to third man and completed a run comfortably. The all-rounder turned around and was in the middle of the field for another run when Ruturaj Gaikwad asked him to come back. Sanju Samson received the fielder’s throw and as he threw the ball towards the stumps at the non-striker’s end, it hit Jadeja who was frantically trying to get back into the box. The on-field umpires opted for a review and the third umpire ruled that Jadeja deliberately changed direction while running and decided to rule in RR’s favour. CSK fans were shocked by the decision and the reaction of Sakshi Dhoni – MS Dhoni’s wife – has now gone viral on social media.

Coming into the match, Simarjeet Singh took three wickets to restrict RR to a modest total before Ruturaj Gaikwad set an example to guide the five-time champions to an important victory.
The victory took CSK to 14 points from 13 matches and the team is in a good position to book their place in the playoffs. However, if Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Delhi Capitals, the match between CSK and RCB could be pivotal in deciding the playoff line-up.
