In the crucial 15th and final over of the match, CSK found themselves in a precarious situation, requiring 10 runs off the last two balls.It was then that the seasoned Jadeja turned the tide in his team’s favor, smashing medium-pacer Mohit Sharma for a six and a four.

‘…he (Dhoni) just stopped me and he lifted me. Yes, obviously this is one of my all-time favourite memories. I will never forget this hug from Thala. This will remain inside my heart forever. Love you, Thala. Cheers,” Jadeja said in the video.
