During the Qualifier 1 of the IPL 2023, Ravindra Jadeja created a new history in the tournament. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler became the first left-arm bowler to complete 150 IPL wickets.
Ravindra Jadeja, who is serving the IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a long time, is one of the greatest all-rounders in the present cricket generation.
In the IPL 2023 Qualifier 1, when CSK faced Gujarat Titans (GT) at Chennai, Jadeja played a crucial all-round role for his CSK team, who ultimately won that game to advance to the Final of this competition. After GT sent them to bat first, CSK scored 172/7 in 20 overs. Later, GT were bowled out for 157 runs (20 overs) as CSK confirmed their 10th IPL Final appearance with a 15-run win.
