#3 Ravindra Jadeja smashes his bat on the ground after it fails gauge test

All batters' bat have to undergo a gauge test during the IPL 2025 matches. It is done to ensure that all the bats used are of legal dimensions and size.

The same test was done for Ravindra Jadeja's bat in the CSK vs SRH game. However, it failed the test. Interestingly, the southpaw smashed the bat on the ground a few times, possibly hoping that it would pass through the tool after that.
