This was response to Jadeja's "player in the pocket" celebration earlier in the game.
In the first innings, Jadeja did the celebration after removing Jos Buttler. As Butler walked towards the dressing room, Jadeja slipped his hand into his pocket, adding a new themed celebration in his collection.
Big feat for Rashid Khan in IPL
While taking key wickets against RR, the star leg spinner broke Sunil Narine's record for most three-wicket-hauls by an overseas spinner in the history of IPL.
In IPL, Sunil Narine has managed to clinch 17 three-wicket hauls in his iconic career so far. On the other hand, Rashid Khan has taken 18 three-wicket hauls after a match-winning spell against RR.
Overall, Rashid stands at the second place in the list of most three-wicket hauls taken by spinners. India's Yuzvendra Chahal has topped the list with 23 three-wicket hauls under his name.
So far, the 27-year-old spinner from Afghanistan has managed to clinch 173 wickets in just 147 innings at an economy rate of 7.17 with a bowling average of 23.7. Rashid Khan has 4 four-wicket hauls under his name in the world's biggest T20 league.
