Chennai Super Kings who have been already struggling this season, got another big blow, as Jadeja has been ruled out of the tournament. Ravindra Jadeja is out of the remainder of IPL due to bruised rib. This season has been unusual for the franchise. There have been quite some changes in the team leadership. Jadeja was named the captain 2 days before the IPL 2022 commenced. However, CSK’s poor performance has led to MS Dhoni taking the captaincy again. This sudden change seemed strange however Thala fans accepted it. But, reports stated that the change in captaincy was not with Jadeja’s consent. It is being said that he wasn’t pleased with the decision. Moreover, Chennai Super Kings have unfollowed Jadeja on Instagram. Everything adds up to fire the rift speculation. Whether Jadeja is ruled out because of a rift, or a genuine injury remains a question.
Following MSD taking back the charge of the team, Jadeja was sat out against Delhi capitals. Although it is evident that Jadeja has hurt himself while taking a catch against RCB, fans still think everything’s not good between Ravindra Jadeja and CSK management.
Injury or Rift: Jadeja ruled out of IPL 2022
CSK also released a statement on the official website clarifying about Jadeja’s medical condition. “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” it read. As the netizens are suspecting a rift being the reason Jadeja has been replaced as captain, dropped off the team, and is now being ruled out for the season. Therefore, the CEO of Chennai Super Kings, Kasi Viswanath clarifies the team’s future plans for Jadeja.
“Social media, I absolutely do not follow anything. I have no knowledge of what is going on there. What I can tell you is that from the management side, there has been no problem and whatever is there on social media, I’m not aware. Jadeja firmly remains in the CSK’s scheme of things for the future, always.”
