IPL 2023: Happy to do anything whatever the team decides and whatever the team needs – Ravindra Jadeja

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is happy to play according to the team’s requirements. Jadeja has been pushed down the order as Shivam Dube and Ambati Rayudu have batted ahead of him.

The orthodox spinner bowled a match-winning spell in the team’s previous match against five-time champions Mumbai Indians. The veteran scalped three wickets and conceded only 20 runs in his quota of four overs versus the Rohit Sharma-led team.

Chennai will take on the previous season’s runners-up Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday in the home conditions and Jadeja is going to hold the key at Chepauk.

In an interaction on CSK’s official website, Jadeja was quoted as saying: “I am happy to do anything whatever the team decides and whatever the team needs. My job is to give my best whenever I get the chance, especially in T20s, you never know. I am happy to do anything.”

Meanwhile, Dhoni will be playing his 200th as CSK captain when they will face Rajasthan Royals. Jadeja is hopeful that they could make it memorable for the veteran skipper.

“What can I say, he is a legend of Indian cricket. So, I would like to wish him good luck. Hopefully, in his 200th game, we will win in Chepauk and all the fans will be happy, so that we continue the momentum. Hopefully we win tomorrow and we give him a gift on his 200th (IPL) match as captain.”

Meanwhile, the last match which Chennai played at Chepauk wasn’t on a typical pitch. The hosts had gone on to post a huge score of 217 runs while playing against Lucknow Super Giants.

“If you are playing in Chennai, you have to bowl according to the wicket. In Chennai, the wickets are favouring spinners, so I don’t think we can try too many different things. We can just stick to the basic line and length. It also depends on the field we are bowling with. Last game we played here, the wicket was very good. Both teams scored 200 plus. It was not like a typical Chennai wicket.”

Jadeja has taken four wickets in three matches in IPL 2023 at an average of 15.50.
