Here’s the reason as to why Ravindra Jadeja was given the title “Sir”

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is not all about just cricket. The off-the-field drama is equally entertaining. Players are involved in several activities that help them to stay fresh and get over the travelling fatigue. The Quick Heal Bhajji Blast with CSK is one such show hosted by Harbhajan Singh that involves funny interactions with other CSK players.

It was Ravindra Jadeja or rather “Sir” Ravindra Jadeja’s turn to pay a visit to Bhajji’s show. Fans have been wondering for quite some time now as to why Jadeja has been given the title of “Sir”. On Bhajji Blast, Jadeja finally cleared the air and revealed the person who gave him the title and the reason behind it. The man behind it was none other that Mahendra Singh Dhoni who gave him this name suddenly without any logic behind it.

Rajnikant style trolls

The title was given when Jadeja made CSK win against RCB in 2013. CSK needed 16 off the last over and the equation was finally reduced to 2 runs off the final ball. The fielder took Jadeja’s catch at the last ball, but luckily it was a No-Ball. So it was implied that it was Jadeja who made them win the match. Since then, Dhoni has been trolling Jadeja and has made Rajinikanth type of jokes on him.

Here are the few examples:

God realised RAJNI sir is getting old so he created sir ravindra jadeja

Sir jadeja doesn't run to take the catch but the ball finds him and lands on his hand

When you give Sir Ravindra Jadeja one ball to get 2 runs he will win it with one ball to spare !!

Wen sir jadeja drives his jeep, his jeep remains still and road moves and wen he goes in to bat the pavillion moves to the wkt

The all-rounder has no clue as to why all this started. However, the tag has become very popular on social media and Jadeja cannot do much about it.

The Chennai Super Kings have made it to the finals of the IPL yet another time and Jadeja must be on top of his game to repay the faith shown on him by MS Dhoni. Mahi has backed Jadeja even when he is underperforming and is a long-term admirer of the allrounder.
