Watch: Jadeja Scalps Samson On 0 With Terrific Ball, Dhoni Applauds

In a high-voltage encounter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Chennai Super Kings restricted Rajasthan Royals to 175/8 in 20 overs despite a half-century from Jos Buttler. The Sanju Samson-led RR looked like cruising at one stage initially as they reached 86/1 in eight overs and looked set for a big total. Enter Ravindra Jadeja. In just his second over, Jadeja scalped Devdutt Padikkal (38) on the third ball of the ninth over. To peg RR back further, Jadeja clean bowled RR captain Sanju Samson for a duck on the fifth ball. He would have got another wicket in that over had Moeen Ali not dropped Ravichandran Ashwin on the final ball of the over. 

The ball which got Samson drifted and tuned and knocked the off-stump. With the wicket, Jadeja became the first Indian player to take 200 wickets and score 2000 runs in IPL.
