Jadeja says he is waiting to meet MS Dhoni.

After returning from India's Champions Trophy victory in Dubai, the star all-arounder, Ravindra Jadeja, has joined the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) training camp ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Jadeja said in his first interaction with the squad that he was thrilled to be reunited with his CSK teammates, particularly MS Dhoni, affectionately known as 'Thala'. In a CSK-shared official video, Jadeja expressed his excitement about training with Dhoni and fellow spinner R Ashwin.

"Feeling very good (on being) back to home and very excited to be with the team and looking forward to meeting the one and only Thala. Thala, the boss!" Jadeja said.

Jadeja was instrumental in India's Champions Trophy victory, contributing both with the bat and the ball. He claimed five wickets in five games at a remarkable economy rate of 4.35, demonstrating his clinical play in the middle overs. His greatest moment occurred when he hit the winning runs in the final against New Zealand, which helped India win the Champions Trophy for the third time.

Fans are excited to watch Jadeja repeat his Champions Trophy exploits for CSK in the 2025 Indian Premier League, as his form is at its best. His background and versatility could be very important as CSK looks to win the IPL for the sixth time. After a high-profile match against the Mumbai Indians at the Chepauk to start the season, CSK will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a rival team from the south. The defending champs' roster gains a great deal of depth and balance with Jadeja in it.
