Ravindra Jadeja orchestrated a masterclass all-round show as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) regained their winning touch with a comprehensive 28-run win over Punjab Kings in a low-scoring IPL fixture here on Sunday. Wily leg-spinner Rahul Chahar (3-23) and seamer Harshal Patel (3-24) put up a spirited show, but Jadeja made a crucial 43 that came off just 26 balls to prop CSK to a par 167-9 after they were sent in to bat by Sam Curran.

The left-arm spinner then returned to grab three for 20 in four overs in the crucial middle-over phase to derail Punjab’s chase, which ended at 139 for nine. Jadeja admitted that they fell short by 15-20 runs, but lauded their disciplined bowling show “We thought we were 15-20 runs short, but we did not bowl loose balls in the Powerplay and in the middle overs,” Jadeja said.
