Sources close to Jadeja reportedly said, “Yes he (Ravindra Jadeja) is upset & very hurt. The captaincy issue could have been handled better. Everything was too sudden, too abrupt. Any human being would get hurt by the way things shaped up. I don’t want to say much on this. Yes he had a injury but how serious I am not aware”

Later on, Sanjay Manjeraker was also quoted saying to ESPN Cricinfo, “On the ground, it didn’t seem like a big injury. So you can say that something or the other is happening.” There have been multiple stages where the CSK team management gave failed to deliver this season when it came to Ravindra Jadeja. Especially when it came to captaincy. Not to mention, they unfollowed the player on social media.

Although it was reported that Jadeja voluntarily stepped down, the CSK camp was quoted saying, “He (Ravindra Jadeja) looked lethargic, subdued & unimaginative. He was not his usual confident self while leading the team.” Implying that he might have been asked to step down. It could be a huge blow for CSK if Ravindra Jadeja does decide to call it quits with CSK for next year and find a new franchise for himself.
