NEW DELHI: MS Dhoni is known for his calmness on the pitch, rarely allowing himself to be dominated by his emotions. But last year’s IPL Final saw the other side of “Captain Cool” when his emotions were running high after Ravindra Jadeja guide CSK to their fifth IPL title.
In the crucial 15th and final over of this rain-marred match, CSK found themselves in a precarious situation, needing 10 runs from the last two balls. It was then that the seasoned Jadeja turned the tide in his team’s favor, crushing the average player. Mohit Sharma for a six and a four. What followed left an indelible mark in the hearts of fans as Dhoni was seen kissing and lifting Jadeja for his stellar performance.
Recalling the incident during Thursday’s promotional event, Jadeja tickled his funny bone by saying that he was probably the only one who was lifted by Dhoni after his wife. Sakshi Dhoni.
“I believe after Sakshi bhabhi, I am the only guy who was lifted by Mahi bhai,” Jadeja said, leaving everyone bursting into laughter.
Dhoni also praised Jadeja for the way he batted and said that he had full confidence in him as he has the talent and mindset to achieve the goal.

“And this situation also, you know, I was quite confident, you know that Jaddu has the talent and the mindset to achieve the goal. But again, it’s not sure that it’s what what’s going to happen. It was a very memorable innings. You know the few sixes that he hit before the last ball. I think it was very difficult.
Watching TV it seems easy, but now that I’ve broken the order, I know how difficult it is to get that kind of elevation and win for six. And at the same time, everyone is under pressure. The opposition wants to win, we want to win. It’s hard work for everyone. I’m so happy we’re on the winning side. And the emotions were very strong. So a big round of applause for Jaddu for the way he batted.”
