The 16th edition of the Indian T20 League is almost six to seven months away now. But it has become a talk of the town whether Chennai will continue with having Ravindra Jadeja in their plans or the star all-rounder will look for opportunities in other teams.
This topic has become a very hot discussion since the 33-year-old left Chennai in the middle of the season during the 2022 edition of the Indian T20 League. He was also removed from the captaincy during the 15th season of the tournament.
The media reports have learned that many other franchises have shown their interest to include Jadeja in their squads before the Indian T20 League 2023. But the Chennai management came up with a denial to share the senior all-rounder with anyone during the next season.
Things went south during the Indian T20 League 2022
Notably, Jadeja was given the responsibility of captaincy of Chennai during the Indian T20 League 2022. But unfortunately, he couldn’t continue and former skipper MS Dhoni had to resume the charge as the team had lost consecutive matches. On the other hand, Jadeja’s fitness was also under the scanner.
Just after the conclusion of the Indian T20 League 2022, Jadeja went on to delete all posts from his Instagram handle that was related to Chennai. In the same sequence, he also didn’t wish the skipper, MS Dhoni, his birthday on the 7th of July.
A closed source has understood that Delhi is one of the sides who are looking forward to having Jadeja in their squad. In the same regard, they’ve also requested Chennai. Although, Chennai has cleared that they are not willing to leave Jadeja as of now.
CSK management confirmed that there are no plans to part way with Ravindra Jadeja, he is one of the best in the world. (Source - Cricbuzz)
