Jadeja had a forgettable run in IPL 2022. The ended the season with only 116 runs at a strike rate of 118.37 and claimed five wickets overall in 10 games before being ruled out. The last year's edition also saw Jadeja taking over as the CSK captain but after eight games, where the Yellow Army won only two of them, he stepped down as the skipper.
As per reports, Jadeja was believed to be miffed with the CSK team management and wanted to leave the franchise but a 'long, frank chat' with Thala Dhoni and CEO Kasi Viswanathan led to the 'air of misunderstanding' between all parties getting cleared.
The Indian star all-rounder has so far played 210 matches, scoring 2,502 runs and accounting for 132 scalps.
