IPL 2023: Best XI of the tournament

7. Ravindra Jadeja (Chennai Super Kings)

It was the year 2009 when Ravindra Jadeja was criticised for his poor performance during the T20 World Cup, and fast-forwarding to 2023; he is now the most valuable all-rounder for the most successful T20 franchise in the world. Time has changed for the stylish all-rounder, and on the night of the final, he pulled out the heist by smashing Mohit Sharma for ten runs off the final two deliveries. Jadeja has been Dhoni’s go-to man, and this year was no different.

In the 16th edition of the IPL, Jadeja went on to score 190 runs at a strike rate of 142.86. He came down the order and scored valuable runs anytime his team needed him. Given the fact that CSK’s openers did the job for them on most of the occasions, 190 runs at a strike rate in which Jadeja was playing is nothing short of spectacular.

Talking about his bowling, Jadeja managed to pick 20 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 7.56. Adding on, he had an excellent bowling strike rate of 17.10, which is way better than his 2022 performance.
