Ravindra Jadeja six vs RR: CSK all-rounder and Ben Stokes fall down after incredible six

Ravindra Jadeja six vs RR: CSK all-rounder hit an incredible six off Ben Stokes as both him and bowler ended up falling down.

During the 25th match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings at Jaipur, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Ben Stokes ended up falling for in front of each other in the last over.

It all happened on the first ball of the last over when CSK required 18 runs to win the match in the last over. Jadeja, who was facing the first ball against Stokes, hit an off-balance six to bring down the equation to 12 runs in five balls.

However, the manner in which the six was hit called for excessive attention from all parts. While Jadeja intended to hit the ball down the ground, he was seen falling towards the off-side. Despite him being off-balance, the ball ended into the stands which came as a source of amazement.

Jadeja, who came in to bat at No. 7 in the 18th over, ended up scoring 9* (4) with the help of one six, which played an instrumental role in CSK sealing the 152-run chase.
