"I hope this is the last of Ravindra Jadeja" - Fans unhappy despite all-rounder scoring 53* off 35 in MI vs CSK IPL 2025 match

Ravindra Jadeja looked sluggish with the bat before getting to his half-century for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their IPL 2025 match against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 20. The left-hander, who walked in at No. 4, scored an unbeaten 53 off 35 balls at a strike rate of 151.43, hitting two sixes and four boundaries. This was his first fifty of the 2025 season and the 10th half-century overall.

The Saurashtra batter failed to accelerate his innings, barring 15 runs off his last five balls in the 20th over, which included one six and a four. His other promising shot came against Ashwani Kumar in the 16th over, where he hit a maximum.

During his knock, Jadeja also shared a valuable 79-run partnership off 50 deliveries with Shivam Dube for the fourth wicket.

Notably, Jadeja was retained by CSK for INR 16 crore ahead of the mega auction last year. The 36-year-old has managed 145 runs in eight innings at a strike rate of 126.08 this season.

Fans on X questioned Ravindra Jadeja for his intent during the majority of his 53-run knock. One user wrote:

"This game's gone long back, but I hope this is the last of Ravindra Jadeja batting at no.4 for CSK."

Another user commented:

"Thank you for your services, Sir Ravindra Jadeja.. It's time to call it a day from playing this league."
