Ravindra Jadeja

Senior Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is a part of the Chennai franchise in the Indian T20 League for the last 10 years since 2012. 10 years back, Chennai picked Jadeja in an amount of INR 20 Lakhs. At that moment, the franchise was very keen to add the all-rounder to their line-up. Since Jadeja is a part of the squad, Chennai has been the runner-up in 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2019 whereas they have won the tournament two times in 2018 and 2021.

Chennai is a franchise that usually has a strong bond not only with the players but also with everyone including support staff and other individuals associated in any manner with the team.

But everything went south when there were reports of an alleged rift between senior all-rounder and the franchise. Notably, the 2022 edition went very rough for Chennai. Conundrum over captaincy was also there. As the regular skipper, MS Dhoni decided to quit from his duties just before the tournament.

Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja. But unfortunately, Chennai lost six out of eight games in the 15th edition of the league. All it started when the management decided to reappoint MS Dhoni as the captain in the middle of the tournament. Not only this but later on, Jadeja was ruled out citing an injury and hence missed the remaining matches of the IPL 2022.

Chennai Captaincy Row:

The men in yellow have improved with every passing year in the Indian T20 League, all thanks to the skipper, MS Dhoni. The legendary wicketkeeper-batter was leading the team more than a decade before the 2022 edition of the Indian T20 League. In the 15th edition, he decided to step down from the role and handed over the duties to Ravindra Jadeja.

But things didn’t work for the team and they lost numerous matches to get eliminated from the league stage only. Then, the management appointed MS Dhoni as the captain of the team in the middle of the tournament.

Jadeja’s activities on social media

Jadeja and Chennai started trending and fans started speculating about the alleged rift between them once again. Now it happened due to the activities of the ace all-rounder on social media. He went on to delete all his posts on Instagram that were somehow related to the franchise.
