Ravindra Jadeja joins IPL 2025 camp straight after Champions Trophy win; CSK post special video [Watch]

Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja immediately joined the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) camp after returning to India from Dubai following the 2025 Champions Trophy. It was a memorable campaign as Team India lifted the trophy on Sunday (March 9) by beating New Zealand in the final by four wickets. Ravindra Jadeja hit the winning runs- a boundary to finish the match in style.

Jadeja bowled brilliantly throughout the tournament, strangling the opposition in the middle overs and picking up some crucial wickets. He also made vital contributions with the bat in the lower order, finishing the games calmly in pressure situations. As a result, he added the third ICC trophy to his cabinet. Jadeja previously won the 2013 Champions Trophy and the 2024 T20 World Cup with the Indian team.

Ravindra Jadeja has now shifted his focus towards the upcoming IPL 2025, having joined the CSK contingent in Chennai to begin preparations. The Chennai franchise welcomed him with a special 'Pushpa' movie-themed reel to hype their fans. The post was captioned:
