Ravindra Jadeja was the captain of the Chennai Super Kings at the start of IPL 2022. However, captaincy pressure impacted his personal game, and he could not perform his best. Subsequently, he suffered an injury that ruled him out of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League.
Jadeja left the CSK bio-bubble midway during the season. Soon after, reports surfaced online claiming that all is not well between the two parties. According to a recent report by the Times of India, Jadeja is reportedly unhappy and has been out of touch with the CSK management since the IPL 2022 season ended.
There is a possibility that Jadeja leaves CSK ahead of IPL 2023. Some of the other teams might not want him to go under the hammer and instead try to get a trade done with CSK. Here’s a list of four franchises that could target Jadeja.
1. Royal Challengers Bangalore could target Ravindra Jadeja
RCB could target someone like Jadeja to add more stability to their team. Jadeja can play in the middle-order as well as a finisher. He also bowls four overs of left-arm spin and fields brilliantly. Some CSK fans also wrote on social media that RCB should trade Faf du Plessis to CSK for Jadeja.
2. Will Ravindra Jadeja move to SunRisers Hyderabad?
SunRisers Hyderabad need some top Indian players in their lineup. Last year, their squad seemed more reliant on foreign players. Someone like Jadeja could be a fantastic addition to the SRH team.
3. Punjab Kings
Another team that needs a proper Indian all-rounder is Punjab Kings. There is also a possibility that if Jadeja moves to PBKS, he gets a chance to lead the team because Mayank Agarwal did not have a great season as captain in 2022.
4. Mumbai Indians
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have done some excellent trades in recent years. It should not be a surprise if they approach CSK for Jadeja because they need a reliable option in the spin department.
