However, during the match, Chennai Super Kings’ brilliant all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was given out by the umpire for Obstructing The Field. All this happened in the 16th over of Chennai Super Kings’ innings. Jadeja played the shot with light hands and ran fast to take two runs. He completed one run easily but just as the Chennai players were running for the second run, Sanju Samson caught the ball. Rituraj denied Jadeja for the second run.

However, now Chennai Super Kings batting coach Mike Hussey has given his side regarding this matter.

I myself cannot say anything definite about this: Mike Hussey

In the press conference after the match, Mike Hussey said, ‘I had very little time during the match to watch it and I did not watch it closely. He was trying to come back and that is why Jadeja changed his angle. But Ravindra did not see the ball after turning. I saw and heard both sides of the story. I would not like to say anything about the umpire’s decision because he had given his side. According to the rules you cannot change your side. I can’t say for sure about this but it could be the right decision.

It was very important for Chennai Super Kings to win the match against Rajasthan Royals. After this victory, Chennai Super Kings has made its place at the third position in the points table of IPL 2024 with 14 points. They now have to play their last league match of this season against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 18. The team would definitely like to win this match also.
