Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli on Sunday said he is "very happy" to see Ravindra Jadeja performing well for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021, saying it's always good to have India's premier all-rounder high on confidence. Kohli's comments came after Jadeja dominated RCB with both the bat and the ball to help CSK seal a 69-run win at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. I have believed in @imjadeja a lot. I am happy to see him perform with the bat, ball and in the field. When he plays well, it opens up so many options not just for #CSK but for #TeamIndia also: @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/GvmQR1Tgk3 Ravindra Jadeja came up with an all-round effort as Chennai Super Kings hammered Royal Challengers Bangalore in their final match of the season in Mumbai to top the IPL 2021 points table. Jadeja hit a 28-ball 62 not out, which included 5 sixes in the joint-most expensive over bowled in the history of the tournament. Jadeja picked up 37 runs from Harshal Patel's final over as CSK went from 154 for 4 in the 19th over to finish with 191 on the board. Jadeja made the most of spinner-friendly conditions in Mumbai on Sunday, picking up 3 wickets and conceding just 13 runs his 4-over spell. Jadeja's victims included two of RCB's main men -- AB de Villiers (4) and Glenn Maxwell (22). Apart from the 3 wickets, Jadeja also ran Dan Christian out with a direct hit, rubbing salt into the wounds of the Australian all-rounder who had dropped the CSK star when he was batting on 0.
