Ravindra Jadeja mocking Shardul Thakur during MI vs RR game.© X (formerly Twitter) A funny exchange between Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur took centre stage during Rajasthan Royals' IPL 2026 game against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. On the fourth ball of the final over of the RR innings, Shardul outfoxed Jadeja with a slower delivery. The batter ended up miscuing the ball to Hardik Pandya at cover. The MI pacer celebrated the wicket enthusiastically. He pumped his fist in joy, but all that was short-lived as the third umpire revealed that the fast bowler had overstepped. Soon after it was given a no-ball by the third umpire, Jadeja returned the celebration to Shardul in a funny manner. It didn't end there, as Jadeja slammed the MI pacer for two consecutive boundaries and mocked him again.Watch it all here: — Lala (@FabulasGuy) May 24, 2026 Ravindra Jadeja to Lord Thakur : pic.twitter.com/mpEJUD6KuN — Mk. (@RJ45se) May 24, 2026Jofra Archer (32 off 15 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja's (19 not out off 11 balls) vital contributions late in the innings lifted Rajasthan Royals to an under-par 205 for eight on a benign wicket against Mumbai Indians, in their must-win IPL contest in Mumbai on Sunday. Needing a win in this contest to book the final berth in the IPL playoffs, RR added 73 runs in the last five overs to stage a late comeback after their specialist batters cut a sorry figure.Archer smacked three sixes and a four to collect 32 off 15 balls, while Jadeja, coming in at No. 9, hit three boundaries in the last two overs to push the total beyond the 200-run mark.All eyes were pinned on the explosive pair of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (4) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (27), but while the teenager was dismissed cheaply, Jaiswal showed a lot of promise during his brief stay before Will Jacks outfoxed him.Sooryavanshi went for a big swipe on the first ball and connected well, which looked a certain six off Deepak Chahar (2/43), but Will Jacks at deep extra cover pulled the ball in spectacularly from beyond the ropes.As if that save had some cascading effect, Sooryavanshi failed to connect with the rest of the deliveries he faced. Another wild slog off an outswinger from Chahar saw Sooryavanshi hit it high in the air towards backward point, where Naman Dhir took a smart catch while sprinting forward.Sooryavanshi fell immediately after Jaiswal, who had made a flying start but paid the price for playing one shot too many.Jaiswal hit a couple of tow...

Jadeja mocks Shardul in wild IPL moment after dramatic no-ball twist
Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur (IPL)The final over of Rajasthan Royals’ innings against Mumbai Indians produced one of the most entertaining moments of IPL 2026, with old Chennai Super Kings teammates Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur at the centre of the drama. RR were trying to push past the 200-run mark in a must-win clash when Shardul appeared to deliver a huge breakthrough. Bowling a slower delivery outside off, the pacer forced Jadeja into a mistimed slap towards cover. As soon as the catch was taken, Shardul erupted in celebration, roaring in delight and visibly pumped after thinking he had removed the dangerous all-rounder at a crucial moment. Jadeja, meanwhile, had already started walking back. But within seconds, the entire mood changed. The no-ball siren suddenly went off as replays showed Shardul had overstepped. The dismissal was overturned immediately, leaving the MI pacer stunned. Jadeja instantly turned around with a grin on his face while Shardul’s celebration awkwardly came to a halt. And that was only the beginning. With a free-hit now coming up, Jadeja made sure to punish his former CSK teammate in style. Shardul dropped short on the next delivery and Jadeja swivelled beautifully before smashing the pull over mid-wicket for four. The RR dugout erupted as the all-rounder stared back with a smile. The very next ball disappeared too. Shardul offered width outside off and Jadeja hammered a powerful drive through cover for another boundary. By then, the RR batter looked fully fired up and appeared to cheekily celebrate in Shardul’s direction, almost mocking the earlier wicket celebration after the dramatic no-ball twist. Fans instantly loved the moment because both players share a strong bond from their years together at Chennai Super Kings, where they were part of multiple successful campaigns. Their animated exchange clearly carried a playful edge rather than genuine hostility, but it still added spice to a tense contest. Jadeja eventually finished unbeaten on 19 off just 11 balls after arriving as an impact substitute at No. 9. His late cameo, combined with Jofra Archer’s explosive 15-ball 32 and useful contributions from Dhruv Jurel and Dasun Shanaka, powered Rajasthan Royals to 205 for 8. Shardul and Deepak Chahar picked up two wickets each for Mumbai Indians, but the final over belonged entirely to Jadeja, who turned embarrassment into entertainment within the space of three deliveries.
