RR vs CSK IPL 2026: A scene was seen today at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, which was no less than a film story. In this high-voltage match of IPL 2026, Ravindra Jadeja created a stir as soon as he wore the Rajasthan Royals jersey against his old team Chennai Super Kings. The effect of this big trade of Sanju Samson before the auction was clearly visible on the field today, which put the Chennai team in trouble.

Sarfaraz’s wicket on the second ball

When Jadeja came to bowl during the Chennai Super Kings innings, Sarfaraz Khan was seen in good form at the crease. He was playing cautiously after scoring 17 runs, but Jadeja showed the magic of his spin and trapped him on the very second ball of the spell. The ball came in quickly and Sarfaraz could not understand it. The umpire declared him out LBW without any delay. With this wicket, a wave of happiness ran in the Rajasthan camp.

Dubey also out in the same over

Jadeja’s brilliant performance did not stop here. On the last ball of the same over, he also sent Chennai’s dangerous batsman Shivam Dubey to the pavilion. Dubey was trying to stay at the crease after scoring 6 runs, but even he could not stand in front of Jadeja’s clever bowling. Jadeja completely shook Chennai’s middle order by taking two big wickets in the same over.

Jadeja’s spell was heavy on Chennai

This spell of Jadeja was no less than a shock for Chennai Super Kings, who were already under pressure in the absence of MS Dhoni. His consecutive wickets put brakes on the pace of the team’s innings and turned the match towards Rajasthan.
