There has been more discussion on Ravindra Jadeja leaving CSK than on his joining Rajasthan Royals. Actually, Rajasthan Royals have included Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran in their squad in exchange of trading Sanju Samson with CSK. It is also a matter of discussion as to how Jadeja agreed to leave CSK after 12 years. Did someone force Jadeja to leave the team or was Rajasthan giving him a huge offer? Now a media report has revealed that before the trade deal, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja had openly talked to each other.
According to Cricbuzz, when the process of trade deal had not even started, Jadeja and Dhoni spoke openly to each other. Both of them agreed that it would be in everyone’s interest for Jadeja to move away from CSK.
According to the same report, with Noor Ahmed joining Chennai Super Kings, CSK management could have explored different options regarding Jadeja’s role in the team. Due to this, his place in the playing eleven was also in danger. Dhoni had openly talked to Jadeja in this regard, after which Jadeja also agreed that it would be right for him to leave the Chennai team.
It is also a shocking fact that Ravindra Jadeja was retained by CSK last year for Rs 18 crore, but Rajasthan Royals traded him for Rs 14 crore. While discussing this matter, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said that he did not like Jadeja leaving a team like CSK and going to Rajasthan Royals for Rs 14 crore. Chopra said that Jadeja would have accepted the salary cut only if the Rajasthan team had offered him some other role.
