Everything is fine – Kasi Viswanathan on Ravindra Jadeja vs CSK rift rumours

On March 24, just a few days before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 began, legendary captain MS Dhoni officially decided to hand over the CSK captaincy to Jadeja.

However, Chennai Super Kings struggled under Jadeja’s captaincy as they won only 2 games and faced 6 defeats and Jadeja’s form with the bat and ball also took a massive hit. So Jadeja decided to hand back the captaincy to Dhoni to concentrate more on his game.

Meanwhile, Jadeja suffered an injury and got ruled out of the last few games of the tournament and some reports came out suggesting that everything wasn’t right between CSK and Ravindra Jadeja.

“Everything is fine,” Kasi Viswanathan said while talking about Jadeja vs CSK rift rumours.
