Dhoni and Jadeja were playing for CSK but after Tuesday's IPL draft, the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman will head to Pune while the left-arm spinner will move to Rajkot, his home-side for the ninth edition of the T20 League.

When asked about his feeling to bowl against Dhoni, the left-handed all-rounder said, "It's a big challenge to bowl against Dhoni, particularly in shorter version of the game, as Dhoni has proved himself as a best finisher of the game, but I will do my level best to perform well".
The 27-year-old cricketer also hopes to play to his potential in the cash-rich league, which commences on April 9 at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
"It's a different kind of feeling which can not be expressed while playing for home team and I hope that I would be doing well in the IPL," he said.
"I have been selected in the Rajkot team as a good player and there is a chance for me to go further if I could play good cricket in coming IPL season," said Jadeja, who initially played for Rajasthan Royals.
