Star all-rounder of Chennai Super Kings Ravindra Jadeja teases the fans of CSK during the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League played between them and KKR at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Ravindra Jadeja teases fans at the Chepauk Stadium by pretending to bat before MS Dhoni in their match against KKR. At first, Jadeja walked out from the CSK dugout, making fans think he would bat, but then he stepped back, letting Dhoni bat instead. Even though it was a joke, CSK still won the match against KKR by 7 wickets. Dhoni did bat but only faced three balls and scored one run at the Chepauk.
