Ravindra Jadeja, CSK not in touch since IPL 2022

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is not on good terms with the franchise after a breakout season in IPL 2022.

Jadeja was named captain for the season when MS Dhoni stepped down. However, the team was not doing well under Jadeja's captaincy before he was sacked and the captaincy was handed back to Dhoni.

The management said the all-rounder's performance took a hit due to the captain's weight. The news was not well received by Jadeja, who has now lost touch with the franchise.

If things continue to remain the same way, Jadeja could well leave the franchise before the next season, as per reports in the Times of India.

Ravindra Jadeja removed all Instagram posts related to CSK

On the social media front, Jadeja removed all the posts related to CSK and was also the only player from the franchise not in the video that was posted by CSK wishing skipper, MS Dhoni, on his birthday.

The all-rounder will be hoping to switch franchises but he will have to wait for a trade offer from another franchise following which, the CSK management will decide how to go about it further.

As of now, Dhoni is set to return for the next season and he will be the leader of the side. Considering Jadeja is one of his prized assets, the 41-year-old might choose to convince Jadeja to stay.

Jadeja’s IPL 2022 stats were extremely poor. In 10 matches for the team, he scored 116 runs at a strike rate of 118.37 and an average of 19.33. With the ball in hand, he took 5 wickets at an economy rate of 7.52.
