Debate between Jadeja and Dhoni

Dhoni and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were seen having a heated argument over some issue after CSK sealed their place in the playoffs. No one could understand what was the reason for this exchange. You rarely see Dhoni in such animated interactions with teammates or opposition players on the field. It can be seen in the video that Jadeja goes to Dhoni for anything related to the game. Dhoni first calms Jadeja by putting his hand on his shoulder and starts explaining one thing. Even before Dhoni gets a little animated, Jadeja is seen reacting to his words.

Dhoni vs Jadeja revisited

Last year, the world saw a cold war between Dhoni and Jadeja over the captaincy. Ahead of IPL 2022, Jadeja was handed the captaincy but he ended up missing most of the matches. This led to Jadeja being replaced by Dhoni after the halfway point. Then, an injury ruled Jadeja out of the competition. Rumors started doing the rounds on social media that Jadeja was looking for a new team ahead of IPL 2023.
