The versatile Ravindra Jadeja, which has been an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings for almost 10 years, was unfollowed by a franchise on her Instagram handle. Jadeja was also excluded from the ongoing IPL issue due to a broken rib he suffered during a clash with the Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 4. "Ravindra Jadeja reported a bruised rib and was unavailable for Chennai Super Kings' game against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. He was under observation and based on medical advice he has been ruled out for the rest of the IPL season," said an official statement from CSK.

The sudden departure from the omniscience and the inability to follow brought rumours that there was chaos in the franchise.

This has led to speculation on social networks that Jadeja is suddenly leaving the season due to some team problems.

"CSK management & Dhoni played cheap politics with #Jadeja first Dhoni made him scapegoat captain to blamed for worst season, then sacked him from captain in just 8 matches, then Dhoni criticised his captaincy, then #CSK unfollowed him & now sacked from IPL BEST PLAYER but insulted," wrote a user on Twitter.

"Something had been brewing for sometimes and that could be the reason of his relinquishing the captaincy. And Jadeja was not in his natural self. And then news of his injury came.... looks a mystery," wrote another user.

The all-rounder is the most expensive player for the CSK in IPL 2022, which is maintained at Rs 16 crores. He was also appointed team captain, just days before the start of the tournament.

However, CSK lost six games in their eight outings under his captaincy. Jadeja even lost his form and managed to score only 111 runs and took three wickets in these matches.

He then 'relinquished' the captaincy of the side to focus on his own game and 'requested' MS Dhoni to lead the side again.

However, CSK lost six of the eight matches under its captain. Jadeja still lost form and scored only 111 points in these games and scored three goals.

Under Dhoni, CSK won two of the three matches.

Under Dhoni, CSK ended up winning two games out of three.

So far, Jadeja has not had a great season, recording only 116 in 10 matches with an average of 19.33 with the best score of 26 *. He has scored only five wickets so far.
