Ravindra Jadeja has removed all his CSK related posts from his Instagram timeline, as pointed out by a Twitter user on Friday, and that has now sparked speculations among fans.
Ravindra Jadeja experienced an interesting turn of events with the Chennai Super Kings at the IPL 2022, and the happenings then and thereafter, have raised doubts over his representation for the franchise in future.
The all-rounder, who won two titles with the team – in 2018 and 2021 – was named the captain before the start of IPL 2022, with MS Dhoni stepping down. However, the defending champions lost six of the first eight games under Jadeja, with his own performance too, being affected. Dhoni then took over the reins, citing Jadeja’s dip in form on an individual front as a major reason.
Jadeja was later ruled out of the IPL with rib injury, before returning on the England tour. The all-rounder scored a brilliant hundred in the first innings of the rescheduled Edgbaston Test, reviving the team from a precarious 98/5 in a game the visitors would go down by seven wickets.
On Friday, a Twitter user pointed out that the 33-year-old has removed all his CSK related posts from his Instagram timeline, prompting speculations over his association with the team in future.
Interestingly, the Chennai Super Kings team handle had put congratulatory posts after he’d got to his hundred at Edgbaston, and when he was named the vice-captain in India’s ODI squad announced for their West Indies tour in July-August.
Jadeja, meanwhile, didn’t open up much on his rather forgettable IPL season when questioned recently.
“What happened, happened. IPL was not on my mind. Whenever you are playing for India, your entire focus needs to be on the Indian team. It was the same for me,” he had said in a presser during the Birmingham Test.
He is a part of the team for the second and third T20I against England to be played at Edgbaston and Trent Bridge this weekend, and is likely to return in the XI.
However, the focus for now on social media has been over the IPL future. While the camaraderie between Jadeja and Dhoni is well documented, and has been pointed out by fans as a solid reason for the former’s continuity in future, others suspect that the player and the team might part ways soon.
First Raina Now Jadeja Once they are known for treating the team as family but now..

Last year Sanju Samson followed CSK and unfollowed RR, but nothing happened thereafter, so Chill. I don’t think Jadeja is leaving CSK.

Jadeja didn’t wish Dhoni on his birthday this year. ( He does it every year ).
He has also deleted all his CSK related posts on Instagram .
Something is definitely not right.— ` (@FourOverthrows) July 8, 2022

Don’t know how few CSK fans want Jadeja to be released when he is actually in the prime of his batting prowess.Releasing him 5 yrs earlier would have been far easier than it is today.
Anyway,if this disintegration occurs, then there should be no 2nd thought on buying Sam Curran!— RuturajFan (@RuturajFan) July 8, 2022
I wasn’t buying any of this at all before but now that Jadeja has apparently removed his csk related posts, in addition to not wishing MS for birthday, all is definitely not well. All is necessarily not lost either, tho. Hope it can still be settled in-house!
