Is Jadeja leaving the CSK team? What is the reason?
All-rounder Jadeja, who is the star of hope for the chennai Super Kings team, is currently reported to be out of the team. Jadeja has been playing for the chennai Super Kings since the 2012 IPL. The late cricket legend Warne had predicted Jadeja as a rock star who showed his talent through the IPL series. True to his prediction, Jadeja was the best all-rounder in international cricket. However, Jadeja is now 35 years old. Due to this, his activity is going towards a slight decline. Due to this, Jadeja has already retired from the indian T20 team. And Jadeja was not even included in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. The reason for this is criticism that Jadeja does not perform as well as before on white cricket balls.
Jadeja's batting was the main reason CSK stumbled in the last IPL series. In the 2024 season, Jadeja scored 267 runs and took a total of eight wickets. Similarly, in 2023, Jadeja did not achieve much in other matches. He scored a total of 190 runs. But he took 20 wickets in bowling. At this stage, Jadeja is nearing the end of his cricketing career. As a result, it is reported that Jadeja is considering going to his hometown gujarat team to play, as he has spent more than 12 years in the CSK team, it seems that Jadeja has decided to spend the last part of his cricketing career with the gujarat team.
Also, Jadeja was appointed as the captain in the last season of 2022 and was removed later on. After that, there was a rift between CSK and Jadeja but later the two sides reconciled. It is in this situation that Jadeja is said to be going for the captaincy of the gujarat team. However, it seems that CSK will not let go of Jadeja so easily. Perhaps Jadeja will be the first to be sent out if CSK moves towards young players.
