Ravindra Jadeja made the best use of social media as he hilariously passed on a message to his wife, Rivaba Jadeja, at the Chennai Super Kings team hotel on the eve of their IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans.
Jadeja responded to an Instagram post shared by his wife with his reply leaving their fans in splits. There was a bit of Rajinikanth twist to Jadeja’s reply as he continued to woo the local fans n Chennai on Monday.
It all began when Rivaba Jadeja shared a photo of herself in front of a poster of her husband at the Super Kings team hotel in Chennai. Jadeja was quick to respond to the message, in which he urged her to return to their hotel room. “Mera hukum hai room aao jaldi (It’s my order, come to the room quickly),” Jadeja wrote. Super Kings fans quickly connected the phrase to the popular “Tiger ka Hukum”, a viral dialogue from Rajinikanth’s latest Tamil blockbuster ‘Jailer’.

Chennai Super Kings have also made it a point to let the players spend time with their families during the season, a principle that has helped them over the years. The close ones, including kids, join the players during the season, contributing to several memorable moments off the field, helping players take their mind off the high-pressure games.
For Jadeja, Tuesday’s match against Gujarat Titans will be special because of the memories from last year’s final. It was Jadeja who shone in the end, hitting a six and a boundary to help Chennai Super Kings win the thrilling final and their 5th title. MS Dhoni lifted Jadeja and embraced the all-rounder, making it one of the most memorable moments in the history of the IPL.
