Ravindra Jadeja “Wanted A Mental Break From…”: CSK Teammate Denies Rumours Of Star’s Rift With MS Dhoni | Cricket News

The fifth IPL title was a memorable one for Chennai Super Kings. Under the management of MS Dhoni, CSK lifted the title with Ravindra Jadeja taking part in a vital function within the 2023 IPL closing. After the ultimate, the one picture that stood out was Dhoni lifting Jadeja in a celebratory temper. The duo has been some of the profitable partnerships within the IPL. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, Jadeja has flourished. During the 2022 IPL, Jadeja was made the captain. However, mid-season Dhoni was once more made the captain with CSK not doing nicely. This led to rumours that every one may not be nicely between the 2. But, Jadeja has usually talked about how Dhoni was his inspiration and the way he devoted the 2023 IPL to him.

Now, long-time CSK veteran Ambati Rayudu, who retired after the 2023 IPL, has opened up on the topic.

“During the previous IPL, captaincy was given to Jadeja and then it came back to Dhoni. There was confusion…like…that, there was some misunderstanding between Dhoni and Jaddu. But, later, during this IPL after seeing all those emotions in the end, we could make out that there was no such misunderstanding. In the next season, do you think Dhoni would retain his captaincy?” Rayudu was requested.

“I don’t think Jaddu (Jadeja) was upset with Mahi bhai at all. I don’t think that was the case. It was just that he was just upset that team wasn’t doing great. Everybody’s performances that year were not coming up to the mark,” Rayudu mentioned on BehindWoodsTV Youtube channel.

“Jaddu had no role in that. He took a break because he wanted a mental break from what was happenning. Dontt think there was misunserstanding. Coming to the next season I have no clue.

“He (Dhoni) has put this staff and has made Jaddu (Jadeja) what he’s immediately. He has nurtured him for what, 10-12 years. So he would naturally be completely satisfied that the product that he made has received the ultimate for CSK after no matter occurred final 12 months,” said Rayudu.
