IPL 2024: He Is A Proper All-rounder And CSK Are Lucky To Have Him, Says Rayudu After Jadeja Stars In Win Over KKR
Star Sports Cricket Live: Spinner Ravindra Jadeja's superlative bowling effort for Chennai Super Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has earned him praise from West Indies legend Brian Lara and former India and CSK teammate Ambati Rayudu. Jadeja claimed 3-18 in four overs and with pacers Tushar Deshpande and Mustafizur Rahman claiming 3-33 and 2-22, helped CSK restrict Kolkata Knight Riders to a below-par 137/9. CSK won the match by seven wickets with skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad scoring 67 not out.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports Cricket Live, Rayudu expressed his views on Jadeja's bowling performance against KKR. "I think he tries to bowl on the seam. He attempts to get the seam into the wicket and get that grip on the surface. Additionally, he varies his speed. When he bowls to a left-hander, he tries to bowl quick, as he did to Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine. It was wide, it was really fast, and he bowls directly into the wicket. He knows the surface really well and he knows his bowling is now much better than it used to be. He's a proper all-rounder, and CSK is lucky to have him."
Lara too shared his thoughts on Jadeja's bowling performance against KKR and said the spinner knows where to bowl at the Chepauk Stadium pitch.
