There were many reports about Chennai Super Kings releasing Jadeja ahead of the IPL 2023 auction, but he was retained by the franchise. The last IPL season was a roller-coaster for the all-rounder, as he was first retained as the first pick ahead of the auction and was also made the captain of the side after MS Dhoni’s resignation.
However, the team could not do well under Jadeja’s captaincy and his individual performances were disappointing as well. Dhoni replaced him as captain midway through the tournament, and he was later ruled out of the tournament due to an injury.
