Ravindra Jadeja Breaks Silence on CSK Trade, Fans Emotional

Ravindra Jadeja played against Chennai Super Kings for the first time in more than a decade. This moment even made the fans emotional, as Jadeja was also spotted in tears during the game. After the match ended, he also spoke about the emotional trade to RR from CSK.

The Yellow Army and Ravindra Jadeja had an emotional time yesterday, in the match between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. While Rajasthan Royals won the game, Jadeja did feel bad for the loss of Chennai Super Kings. More importantly, he played against a team which he was a part of, for 12-13 seasons.

A moment was also captured on camera when Jadeja was seen looking emotional. It happened when CSK had a batting collapse and even the team's middle order failed to score runs. This moment immediately went viral all over the internet, and after the match ended, the mic was handed over to Jadeja in the post match presentation.

He was asked about the trade deal, which made him switch teams. Jadeja replied by saying, “It was a bit difficult at first because I played for 13-14 seasons with CSK, but then I thought it was a part of the journey and I'm going back to the team with which I won my first IPL.”

Our Take

While Jadeja may not be a part of Chennai Super Kings, the team still remains in his heart. After the match, he was also spotted having a chat with his former teammates, remembering the good old times. Another moment was captured between Khaleel Ahmed and Ravindra Jadeja, where Jaddu kissed the CSK logo on his jersey.

It will surely be a tough time for Jadeja, as he misses the time in his old team while adapting to a team where he played in his initial days. But that's how the game goes. Rajasthan Royals will also hope to win their second IPL title this time, since they have Jadeja, the player with whom they won their first.
