NEW DELHI: Ravindra Jadeja’s iconic sword celebration is well known whenever the veteran all-rounder reaches a milestone like a fifty or century. However, during Saturday’s IPL 2026 clash between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jadeja came up with a fresh and unexpected celebration.
Playing for Rajasthan Royals this season, Jadeja struck a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Gujarat Titans star batter Jos Buttler and followed it up with a “player in pocket” gesture that instantly grabbed attention.
The dismissal came when Jadeja bowled a full delivery outside off stump. Buttler attempted to go big down the ground but failed to time it properly, sending the ball high into the air. Donovan Ferreira stationed at long-off took a comfortable catch to end Buttler’s stay.
Immediately after the wicket, Jadeja slipped his hand into his pocket in a cheeky “player in pocket” celebration as he walked past the dismissed batter, adding a new twist to his trademark on-field expressions.
