Coach Stephen Fleming<\/strong>: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) coach Stephen Fleming has showered praise on Ravindra Jadeja for his match-winning performance, saying the all-rounder is a gun player and he delivered for the team in the final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jadeja, whose contribution with the bat was a mixed one this year, proved to be the hero for CSK in the all-important IPL final against Gujarat Titans (GT) , here on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In a nail-biting encounter affected by rain, Jadeja displayed remarkable composure by smashing a six and four, successfully scoring the required 10 runs from the last two balls as the Chennai-based side chased down the revised target of 171 runs in just 15 overs to clinch secure their fifth IPL title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

During the post-match press conference, Fleming expressed admiration for the 34-year-old's outstanding performance and emphasized his significant contribution as a bowler to the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jadeja has had a terrific season for CSK with the ball as he picked up 20 wickets in 16 games this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It was a pretty good one today. It's probably been a difficult 18 months where the captaincy was difficult. The injury was difficult. It took a bit of time for him to be out of the game and come reinvigorated in the Test game and then reintegrate into CSK. He plays a great role with the ball. But we have so much firepower, that sometimes we use him lower down the order. But something had to give."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Regarding Jadeja's batting, Fleming praised skipper MS Dhoni for his supportive and proactive approach in promoting Jadeja up the batting order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"MS has been really supportive and proactive in getting him up there and today he repaid that faith. The six, in particular, off a ball that was very close to perfect was defining, and then a good left-hander straight drive through fine leg was a great way to finish it."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I couldn't be more happy for him. Yeah, there has been some frustration at times, but he is a gun player. No.1 ranked player and today he delivered," he said.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Image-Of-IPL-2023-I-couldnt-be-more-happy,-he-is-a-gun-player,-CSK-coach-hails-Jadeja-for-match-winning-performance.jpg", "alt_img": "IPL 2023: 'I Couldn't Be More Happy, He Is A Gun Player', CSK Coach Hails Jadeja For Match-Winning P", "alt_title": "IPL 2023: 'I Couldn't Be More Happy, He Is A Gun Player', CSK Coach Hails Jadeja For Match-Winning P", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "IPL 2023: 'I Couldn't Be More Happy, He Is A Gun Player', CSK Coach Hails Jadeja For Match-Winning Performance On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Coach Stephen Fleming: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) coach Stephen Fleming has showered praise on Ravindra Jadeja for his match-winning performance,, IPL 2023: 'I Couldn't Be More Happy, He Is A Gun Player', CSK Coach Hails Jadeja For Match-Winning Performance.", "seo_keywords": "Gujarat Titans, MS Dhoni, Ravinder Jadeja, Chennai Super Kings", "tag": null, "tagging": "Gujarat Titans,MS Dhoni,Ravinder Jadeja,Chennai Super Kings,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "story-of-ipl-2023-i-couldnt-be-more-happy-he-is-a-gun-player-csk-coach-hails-jadeja-for-match-winning-performance", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "17317", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-05-30 12:07:18", "updated": "2023-05-30 12:07:18", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Gujarat Titans, ", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "37", "jio_date": "2023-05-30 12:07:18", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": "Select", "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/story-of-ipl-2023-i-couldnt-be-more-happy-he-is-a-gun-player-csk-coach-hails-jadeja-for-match-winning-performance-123548" }
