"Blood boiling" - Twitter erupts as Ravindra Jadeja scores 10 off 8 balls vs RCB in IPL 2023

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja failed to deliver the bat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, April 17.

The left-handed batter scored 10 runs off eight balls at a below-par strike rate of 125, including a solitary six in the 20th over. He played straight into the hands of Suyash Prabudessai at the long-off off Glenn Maxwell's bowling.

Fans were disappointed with Jadeja’s sedate knock on a flat Bengaluru deck. One user tweeted:

"Blood boiling looking at Jadeja's 10 off 8 balls on Chinnaswamy highway."

Here are some of the other best Twitter reactions:

The 34-year-old previously returned with figures of one, and three against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), respectively.

Jadeja, though, scored an unbeaten 25 off 15 balls, which came in a losing cause against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). He was questioned for his intent in the last over when he chose to take a single, with six required off two balls.
