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.
