Expressing delight on playing an IPL match in a packed stadium for the first time since the pandemic, the 34-year old said, “Post Covid, this is the first season where we are getting an opportunity to play in front of a fully packed stadium. And that’s a great feeling.”
“We recently played a Test match here against Australia, and realised that the fans of Ahmedabad are quite passionate when it comes to their cricket. Especially, when they come out to support us, they completely change the atmosphere inside the stadium,” he added.
“And it feels good to have a stadium where so many fans come and support their home team.”
The southpaw urged the fans in Gujarat to cheer for CSK and added that he is delighted that Ahmedabad is home to the world’s largest stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium.
“It’s a matter of pride that we have the world’s largest stadium here in Ahmedabad.”
“So I would like to request all Gujarati fans to come and support CSK,” he said.

Jadeja has been part of the CSK franchise since 2012 and played a crucial role in their title win back in 2018 and in 2021 and would want to replicate the same in the 16th edition of the tournament.
