EXPLAINED: Why Ravindra Jadeja Was Unhappy With Run Out Decision During CSK Vs RR Match?

IPL 2024: Ravindra Jadeja was run out for obstructing the field during the CSK vs RR clash.

EXPLAINED: Why Ravindra Jadeja Was Unhappy With Run Out Decision During CSK Vs RR Match?

In the recent IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at M.A Chidambaram Stadium, Ravindra Jadeja found himself in a rare situation. During the 16th over, while attempting a second run, Jadeja's path intersected with the trajectory of a throw from Sanju Samson, his partner Ruturaj Gaikwad denying the run. This led to Jadeja being given out for obstructing the field, a rarity in IPL history. Prior to him, only Yusuf Pathan and Amit Mishra had faced such a dismissal. Replays confirmed that Jadeja was aware of the ball's path, resulting in the umpire's decision.

Clause 37.1.4 of Laws of Cricket says, “For the avoidance of doubt, if an umpire feels that a batter, in running between the wickets, has significantly changed his direction without probable cause and thereby obstructed a fielder’s attempt to effect a run out, the batter should, on appeal, be given out, obstructing the field. It shall not be relevant whether a run out would have occurred or not.

 

Fighting knock from skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and a three-wicket haul by Simarjeet Singh helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secure a five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at Chennai on Sunday.

With this win, CSK is in the third spot with seven wins and six losses, giving them 14 points. RR is at second spot, with eight wins and four losses, giving them 18 points. In the run chase of 142 runs, openers Rachin Ravindra and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad started off really well for CSK. Rachin, took a more attacking approach against RR pacers, first smashing Sandeep for a six and then hitting Trent Boult for a four and six.

Ruturaj took a lesser aggressive role, letting Rachin express himself. However, Rachin's quick start ended with Ravichandran Ashwin dismissing him for 27 in 18 balls, with a four and two sixes. CSK was 32/1 in 3.4 overs. (IPL 2024: Why Rishabh Pant Is Not Playing DC Vs RCB Match?)

Daryl Mitchell was the next up on the crease. Mitchell made an impact from the get-go, punishing spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and Sandeep with some elegant boundaries.
CSK reached the 50-run mark in 5.2 overs.

CSK at the end of six overs of the powerplay, was 56/1, with Mitchell (20*) and Gaikwad (6*) unbeaten. The partnership between the duo was cut short by Yuzvendra Chahal, trapping Mitchell leg-before wicket for 22 in 13 balls, with four boundaries. CSK was 67/2 in 7.5 overs.

Halfway through the innings, CSK was 77/2, with Ruturaj (20*) and Moeen Ali (4*) unbeaten. Moeen Ali could not stick around for longer, dismissed by Nandre Burger for 10 in 13 balls, being caught by Avesh Khan at deep point. RR was 86/3 in 11.5 overs.

With some brief assault by Shivam Dube on Ashwin, CSK reached the 100-run mark in 13.2 overs. However, the spinner had the last laugh, removing him for 18 in 11 balls, with Riyan Parag taking a catch near the boundary. CSK was 107/4 in 14 overs.

At the end of 15 overs, CSK was 116/4, with Jadeja (3*) and Gaikwad (30*) unbeaten. Jadeja was dismissed for obstructing the field for just five runs, marking a huge moment in the game. CSK was 121/5 in 15.5 overs.

Ruturaj kept guiding CSK to the brink of a win, with one stroke at a time, leaving the side with five runs needing in 12 balls. CSK ended the run-chase successfully, finishing at 145/5 in 18.2 overs, with Gaikwad (42*) and Sameer Rizvi (15* in eight balls, with three fours).

Ashwin (2/35) was the pick of the bowlers for RR. Chahal and Burger got a wicket each. Jadeja's turn had quite a sizeable radius, and the third umpire reckons Jadeja knew where the ball was, and that he turned into the line of the throw. 'Out' is the verdict, and Jadeja has to go. He is not happy at all, but the verdict is out. What a moment in this game!
