Watch: On Jadeja's Unplayable Delivery, MS Dhoni's Reaction Is Pure Gold

Ravindra Jadeja put on a show in Qualifier 1 as Chennai Super Kings defeated defending champions Gujarat Titans by 15 runs on Tuesday to enter the Indian Premier League (IPL) final. While there have been rumours that Jadeja is not enjoying his time with the franchise, the all-rounder scored a crucial 16-ball 22 and bagged two important wickets  at the MA Chidambaram to fire CSK to their 10 IPL final. His delivery to dismiss David Miller was a work of art as even MS Dhoni couldn't control his emotions.

As Jadeja's delivery turned sharply and beat Miller through his defence, Dhoni passionately screamed "oh yeah", before raising his right arm in delight.

After being invited to bat, Ruturaj Gaikwad registered his fourth half-century of the season as he capitalised on a reprieve on two when he was dismissed in the second over only for the delivery to called no-ball.

The 26-year-old hit back with a six and four and soon converted Chennai's modest start to a strong opening stand of 87 with New Zealand's Devon Conway, who made 40.

CSK posted 172-7, a total their bowlers defended as they bowled out Gujarat for 157.

Shubman Gill attempted to drive Gujarat's chase with his 42 but the rest of the batting faltered.

Rashid Khan attempted to pull a rabbit out of the hat with his 16-ball 30 but fell in the 19th over and Pathirana sealed the deal on the final ball.

In the final on Sunday, CSK will take on the winner of Qualifier 2, which will be contested between GT and the winner of Eliminator (Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians).

Sanju Samson's Act Minutes After T20 World Cup Selection Wins Hearts

April 8, 2008. Sanju Samson, then a skinny 14-year-old, curled on the bed in his hotel room, watched Kolkata Knight Riders' Brendon McCullum hammering a 73-ball 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever IPL match. That drizzly evening in Kottayam, a town in central Kerala, changed his heart. Forever. Sanju reshuffled his career dream, from wanting to become a civil servant to entering the elite world of a top-flight cricketer. "Sanju always recollects that day, which gave him the dream of reaching that league of top players one day," said former Kerala player Raiphi Vincent Gomez, also a close friend of the wicketkeeper batter. But merely having a dream will not take anyone to the top of their profession, more so in sports. Sanju then had oodles of determination too to walk down his chosen path. Biju George, the former India women's cricket team's fielding coach and the early mentor of the Kerala player, saw that brightly flickering flame inside...

"We Talk About Kohli, Babar But...": Akram's Ultimate Praise For Rohit

Rohit's exploits at the top have played a big role in India's superlative show in the World Cup. In fact, Pakistan greats Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik even pointed out what separates Rohit from other top stars like Virat Kohli , Joe Root , Kane Williamson and Babar Azam . Akram and Malik, in a chat on A-Sports, didn't shy away from highlighting how different Rohit is from the rest, suggesting the India skipper doesn't spare any bowler from his wrath. "There's no player like Rohit Sharma in international cricket. We talk about Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Babar Azam but this guy is different. He makes batting look so easy no matter what the opposition or bowling attack," said Akram. "He's a kind of batter who will hit all five opposition bowler...
