Watch as Sakshi Dhoni is left shocked by Ravindra Jadeja’s dismissal in the CSK vs RR IPL 2024 match.

In a dramatic turn of events, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secured a crucial victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 61st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 2024. The match, held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, saw CSK emerging victorious by five wickets, further solidifying their position in the race for the playoffs with 14 points from 13 matches.

However, the highlight of the game came in the 16th over of CSK’s run chase when Ravindra Jadeja found himself at the center of a controversial moment. While attempting a quick single, Jadeja was caught short of his crease as he was obstructed by a throw from RR’s Sanju Samson at the non-striker’s end. After a thorough review by the third umpire, Jadeja was controversially given out for ‘obstructing the field’, much to the surprise of the CSK fans and players.

The incident also caught the attention of Sakshi Dhoni, wife of CSK captain MS Dhoni, whose shocked reaction from the stands quickly went viral on social media. The video of Sakshi holding her head in disbelief at Jadeja’s dismissal garnered widespread attention among cricket enthusiasts.

Despite the setback, CSK managed to chase down RR’s total of 141 runs with relative ease, thanks to a solid opening partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals suffered their third consecutive defeat in the IPL 2024 season, denting their once-promising campaign after a string of eight wins in nine matches. With this victory, CSK has put themselves in a strong position to secure a spot in the playoffs, while RR will need to regroup quickly to keep their playoff hopes alive.
