When Jadeja arrived, the referee stopped in the field for a moment to check his bat using a standard bat-based meter used to ensure that bats correspond to the size regulations.

To the surprise of the crowd and players, the bat did not pass by the meter, which forced the referee to apply for a replacement.
Fresh bat was quickly brought from the CSK excavation, allowing the game to continue.
The short delay added a layer of drama at the beginning of Chennai’s shifts and attracted a lot of reactions from fans at the stadium and online.
Jadeja came to the fold after Sam Curran fell into a smart birth by Harshal patel.
At 4.3 via Curran, he tried to pull out a slower short ball outside, but he missed it and sent a simple catch of the verm in the deep middle goal. He left for 9 escapes out of 10 balls.
And despite the fact that CSK gave some relief with his clicking 21 out of 17, Jadeja could not earn at a brisk start and at 10.
