On Friday, July 7, former India captain MS Dhoni turned 42. The experienced wicketkeeper-batter recently led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) victory, tying a record. CSK upset the reigning champions Gujarat Titans in the final in Ahmedabad, igniting jubilation throughout the country. While Dhoni undoubtedly had a role in CSK’s triumphant season, experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s performances with both bat and ball were critical in CSK matching Mumbai Indians’ IPL title record.
“My go-to man since 2009 to date and forever. Wishing you a very happy birthday mahi bhai. See you soon in yellow,” Jadeja captioned a photo of Dhoni hugging him after the final. Under his captaincy, India won the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. He led India to victory in the 2010 and 2016 Asia Cups. With the wicketkeeper-batter celebrating his birthday, Twitter went into a state of frenzy with members of the cricket fraternity and fans taking to the social media platform to wish him.
In a thrilling final against Gujarat Titans, Jadeja made a key cameo and hit the winning runs for CSK.
There had been talk of a split between Dhoni and Jadeja, but the all-rounder’s new post has put that to rest.
Following the final, Jadeja dedicated his knock to Dhoni. He took multiple selfies with the former India captain, who lifted him into the air when he struck the winning runs.
Jadeja is now in the West Indies, where the Indian team is preparing for the next two-match Test series, which begins on July 12.
