Now only a few days are left at the start of the 16th edition of IPL. The first match will be played on March 31 between four-time champions Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Gujarat Titans.
In this year, two of the best all-rounders in the world, Ravindra Jadeja and Ben Stokes, will be seen playing for the same team Chennai Super Kings. Jadeja has been associated with CSK for several seasons, while Stokes was bought by Chennai in the mini-auction earlier this year for Rs 16.25 crore. He is the most expensive player for Chennai Super Kings in the history of IPL.
The picture has come to the front while practicing with both of them in a training session. Within no time, this picture became viral on social media. Fans compared this picture to Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina’s famous Lionel Messi before last year’s FIFA World Cup. Also said that it looks like Ronaldo and Messi are playing on the same team.
Chennai Super Kings have also shared the picture of Jadeja and Stokes on their Twitter handle and wrote in the caption – “This Hype is unreal, but this photo is real!”
Last year, Jadeja was made the captain of CSK, but after the team’steam’s poor performance, he was removed from the captaincy, and Dhoni became the captain again. Dhoni will be seen captaining this year as well. At the same time, Stokes is being considered the team’s captain in the future after MS Dhoni retires from IPL.
