IPL 2023: CSK legends Hayden, Harbhajan put their money on Stokes and Jadeja

Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has made a big prediction regarding Ravindra Jadeja ahead of the IPL 2023 season. He has opined that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder will most likely be promoted up the batting order this season.

Harbhajan - the former Mumbai Indians (MI), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and CSK spinner - reckoned that there is no better all-rounder in the world than Jadeja and four overs of his left-spin bowling will also play a crucial role in CSK's IPL 2023 campaign.

Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, the official TV broadcasters of IPL 2023, he said, “One player who I am going to have my eyes on will be Ravindra Jadeja. I want to see what kind of batting he's going to do for CSK."

"I think he'll be pushed higher up in the batting order (this season). As well as his four overs with the ball. If you look at world cricket currently, there's no better all-rounder than him. So, I am looking forward to seeing Ravindra Jadeja performing in the IPL," he added.

Further, Matthew Hayden has backed Ben Stokes to become the X-factor of this season. The all-rounder was bought by CSK for a whopping amount of Rs 16.25 crore in the IPL 2023 auction. Hayden has asserted that it's time for the England star to deliver in the IPL.

“The X-factor for CSK this season is their new signing - Ben Stokes who has never realised his potential in the IPL. And he's one of those players and we see him play all over the world. He's got that match-winning ability.

"Now under a CSK regime where it's all about cricket. I think that he's got the big chance to be the X-factor this season," Hayden said about Stokes, who has scored 920 runs and picked 28 wickets from 43 IPL matches.

CSK kick off their campaign against GT in the IPL 2023-opener on Friday, March 31.
