During the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Saturday Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spinner Ravindra Jadeja had a peculiar moment that left everyone laughing.
With the first ball of the seventh over of the RCB innings, which was also Jadeja’s first ball, he claimed the crucial wicket of RCB and Indian team captain Virat Kohli.
After the wicket, Kohli sported his familiar angry look while Jadeja, who is known for wild celebrations, looked rather subdued.
He ended up just putting both his hands in the air and not really reacting any further. The dismissal and the eventual non-celebration prompted even the commentators to chip in with a few sarcastic jibes about how Jadeja realised that he has dismissed his national team captain. ‘Outside he is not celebrating, inside he must be running around like Imran Tahir,’ was one of the quips.
Twitterati was was quick to notice the oddity and pointed it out hilariously. Even the IPL and ICC joined in the fun through their official Twitter handles.
