Dhoni cracks jokes on 'Sir' Jadeja

April 14, 2013

New Delhi, Apr 14: Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems to be in a very playful mood these days as he once again tickled his fans' funny bones by cracking a few good-humoured jokes on Chennai Super Kings teammate 'Sir' Ravindra Jadeja.

"When you give Sir Ravindra Jadeja one ball to get 2 runs he will win it with one ball to spare !!," Dhoni wrote on his twitter handle following Chennai's dramatic win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL on Saturday.sir

Jadeja stole the thunder as he guided Chennai to a thrilling win with two to get off the final ball of the match.

But had RP Singh, who conceded 16 in the last over, not bowled a huge no-ball, which was caught at third man, RCB would have won the match.

It was then Dhoni's turn to poke fun at his teammate and enthral his million followers on the social networking site.

"Sir jadeja was upset abt only 1 t20 match in a bilateral series so BCCI came up with the idea of IPL. so all the fans of ipl plz thank SRJ," Dhoni tweeted.

This was the second time in less than a week that Dhoni was tweeting on Jadeja.

"God realised RAJNI sir is getting old so he created sir ravindra jadeja," the India skipper had tweeted a few days days back, referring to South superstar Rajnikanth.

Dhoni added to the fun by posting another gem. "Wen sir jadeja drives his jeep, his jeep remains still and road moves and wen he goes in to bat the pavillion moves to the wkt." It did not end there as Dhoni went on to leave another post.

"Sir jadeja doesn't run to take the catch but the ball finds him and lands on his hand," his next post read.

Jadeja's teammate Suresh Raina, too, left a post congratulating the all-rounder on his match-winning knock.

"Well played SRJ.... U beauty.. Keep up the CSK flag high love u beeba," Raina tweeted.

Dhoni had a few more, reserved for his junior teammate, who seems to be the buzzword on the internet at the moment.

"Leaving for practice at 3pm but the stadium is coming so tht sir jadeja can practice," Dhoni wrote.

"Whenever sir jadeja makes an error its an invention and on a daily basis v get plenty of those,all patent pending."

Bengaluru, Aug 1: Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are aiming to set up their preparatory camp for the 13th edition of the tournament from early August.

This year's IPL was slated to commence from March 29 but the tournament was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Recently, the IPL Governing Council chairman Brijesh Patel had confirmed that the 13th edition of the mega event will commence on September 19 in the UAE.

As per a report in ESPNcricinfo, CSK players have been asked to report to Chennai first, following which they will leave for Dubai via a charter flight only after approval from the Indian government.

The IPL Governing Council will meet on August 2 to finalise the schedule and other key arrangements for the tournament. Also, the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) around securing eight teams for 51 days across three venues will be formally established in that meeting.

CSK, who has the oldest squad in the IPL, are looking for a month's preparation before ahead of the tournament.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, the side was the first team to start their training camp in March. Senior players like Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu had begun training their training in December 2019.

Melbourne, May 7: Australia opener Joe Burns is eyeing the Tests against India should they take place later this year, to stabilise his stop-start international career, saying "you want to play in and do well in" in this kind of series.

India is scheduled to play four Tests in Australia in December-January, a series which is currently in doubt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed over 2.5 lakh lives across the world.

"They are obviously world class team. I think the two teams going at each other will be very exciting to watch and players playing against each other as well," Burns told reporters in a video conference on Thursday.

"You look at the world ranking, they were number one and now we have got to number one, so I know that series will be anticipated by everyone and as a player this is a sort of series you want to play in and do well in."

With the coronavirus also threatening the T20 World Cup, Cricket Australia is under financial stress and has gone on a cost-cutting drive, which included standing down 80 per cent of its staff at 20 per cent salary.

There are also speculations that the Sheffield Shield for 2020-21 would be curtailed to cut costs.

Burns, however, hoped it won't be tinkered with.

"I love the fact we have a really strong first-class system. The 10 games, where you play everyone twice," Burns, who was struck down by a fatigue illness after an indifferent season, said.

"It leads to world-class players coming into Test teams. You don't want to see that get changed.

"Obviously it is unique circumstances at the moment and There's a lot of things to work through ... the players' association is consulted on those things."
