CSK vs MI: Rumours Of Rift Between Ravindra Jadeja, CSK With The Way The Captaincy Change Was Handled: Report

A day after former Chennai Super Kings skipper Ravindra Jadeja was set free from the CSK squad due to a rib injury the all-rounder suffered during the side’s IPL 2022 game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, it is being accounted for that Jadeja was discontent with the manner in which CSK team management took care of the switch in captaincy during the season.

Jadeja was named CSK captain in front of IPL 2022, but due to the CSK’s less than impressive display and Jadeja’s own absence of form, he was swapped by MS Dhoni after eight games. Despite the fact that CSK is still in the race to make the playoff games, it is exceptionally impossible that the four-time champions will make it to the top four.
