Ravindra Jadeja, a key player for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is gearing up for an exciting match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL 2025 at Chepauk. Jadeja, known for stepping up in crucial moments, is just a few runs and hits away from achieving some pretty cool personal records that show just how talented he is with both bat and ball.
Over the years, Jadeja has transformed from a promising young player into CSK’s go-to guy when the team is in a tough spot. At 36, he’s at a point in his career where he could hit three important milestones in this upcoming game against RCB. Let’s break those down.
150 fours for CSK.
First up, he’s only two fours away from reaching a milestone of 150 boundaries for CSK. If he gets those two fours, he’ll be the tenth player in the team’s history to reach this mark. Suresh Raina, known as ‘Chinna Thala’, holds the record with an impressive 494 boundaries for the team. Jadeja has always had a knack for coming through when it counts, so if he gets a chance to bat, hitting those two fours should be well within his reach based on how he usually plays.
100 sixes in T 20 cricket
Next, he’s also very close to another achievement that’s on many players’ wish lists. With 96 sixes to his name in T20 matches played in India, Jadeja is just four sixes shy of hitting 100. He’s been known to hit some big sixes, especially in tight matches, which only adds to his reputation as a solid batsman. Four sixes might seem like a tall order, but considering how often he sends the ball soaring at Chepauk, it doesn’t seem impossible at all.
3000 runs in IPL:
Lastly, there’s another milestone he could hit—scoring 24 more runs to reach 3,000 runs in the IPL. Even if he doesn’t hit those two fours or sixes, if he just puts together a solid performance and finds his rhythm, getting those 24 runs should be manageable. He has a decent strike rate of 121.8 against RCB, so as long as he gets a good start when he comes in, reaching that mark shouldn’t be too tricky.
Overall, as CSK gets ready for this important match, it will be exciting to see if Jadeja can reach these milestones and keep adding to his impressive career stats. Fans will be cheering, hoping to witness another memorable performance!
