CSK’s CEO Dropped A Truth Bomb About Ravindra Jadeja’s Rumored Rift With MS Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings’ CEO Kasi Viswanathan has quashed all the rumors of a rift between Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni that were circulating during the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League.

There Were Rumors Of Rift Between MS Dhoni And Ravindra Jadeja

For the unversed, CSK’s infamous captaincy conundrum last year, which saw MS Dhoni relinquish the position to Jadeja before taking over the captaincy again mid-season had given rise to several rumors of a rift between the two legends.

Ravindra Jadeja had even unfollowed CSK on Twitter which led to an absolute meltdown from the fans. There were speculations that he might even part ways with the franchise but thankfully things went to being normal between the franchise and the cricketer again. Dhoni apparently convinced Jadeja to stay on with the Chennai Super Kings.

In this year’s IPL, the rumors returned with Jadeja expressing his disappointment over the reaction of the fans to his dismissal. He once told the broadcasters ‘They wait for me to get out’, in reference to fans chanting ‘We want Dhoni’. Jadeja even shared a ies of cryptic tweets on Twitter, although he never mentioned Dhoni anywhere.

CSK’s CEO Ended All The Speculations

Meanwhile, now finally ending all the speculations, CSK’s CEO Kasi Viswanathan said that while Jadeja may have felt bad, he never had any bad feelings towards Dhoni. He said:

“As far as Jadeja is concerned, he bowled superbly. While batting, our line-up of Ruturaj, Conway, Moeen, Rahane, with the results, whenever he [Jadeja] went in to bat, he had 5-10 balls left. In such situations, it can or can’t click sometimes. But the thing is he also knew Dhoni was to come in next, and he himself would get just 2-3 balls sometimes. In such situations whenever he went in, the crowd used to welcome Dhoni. In a way, he may have felt hurt. Any player for that matter may have had that pressure. But he didn’t complain about it even though he put out a tweet,”

In one of the games, Dhoni’s heated conversation with Jadeja caught everyone’s attention. After the match, Viswanathan himself was spotted speaking to Jadeja. However, all the reports died when MS Dhoni himself picked Jadeja in his arms when he smashed the winning runs for the team and took the side to their fifth IPL title.

Viswanathan added:

“As far as Jadeja is concerned, he bowled superbly. While batting, our line-up of Ruturaj, Conway, Moeen, Rahane, with the results, whenever he [Jadeja] went in to bat, he had 5-10 balls left. In such situations, it can or can’t click sometimes. But the thing is he also knew Dhoni was to come in next, and he himself would get just 2-3 balls sometimes. In such situations whenever he went in, the crowd used to welcome Dhoni. In a way, he may have felt hurt. Any player for that matter may have had that pressure. But he didn’t complain about it even though he put out a tweet,“
