With 'special mention' to Dhoni, Virat Kohli doffs hat to 'champion' Jadeja

Virat Kohli was full of praise for Ravindra Jadeja after the latter hit 10 runs off the final 2 balls to help CSK beat GT in IPL 2023 final.

In front of his home fans, Ravindra Jadeja hit 10 runs off the last two balls to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 title for Chennai Super Kings, handing defending champions Gujarat Titans a 5-wicket defeat in the final. 

Ecstatic celebrations broke, with the entire CSK camp celebrating the record-equaling title in a jubilant manner. Away from the on-field action in the United Kingdom, India and Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli took to Instagram to hail 'champion' Jadeja for his last-over heroics and also had a 'special mention' for MS Dhoni.

Virat took to Instagram to laud Jadjea for his six and four on the final two balls of the game that took CSK over the line. Kohli wrote: "What a champion @ravindra, Jadeja. Well done CSK and special mention to @mahi7781."

After the game, MS Dhoni revealed that though this is the perfect moment to announce his retirement, he will try to play for one more season as a 'gift' for his fans.

"If you circumstantially see then it is the best time to announce retirement. It is easier for me to say thank you and retire. The hard thing is to work hard for nine months and try to play one more IPL season. The body has to hold up. But with the amount of love I have received from CSK fans, it would be a gift for them to play one more season. The way they have shown their love and emotion, it is something I need to do for them," said Dhoni in a post-match presentation ceremony in the early hours on Tuesday.
