Chennai Super Kings all rounder Ravindra Jadeja lands himself in the midst of a misunderstanding after liking posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) that criticized his India teammates Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. This came in after CSK lost to RCB in a decider match to qualify for the play-offs.
In the game, CSK were required to beat RCB or even lose the match with less than 18 runs, but after a brilliant display from Yash Dayal in the last over, which restricted the yellow brigade from reducing the margin, The fans were left disappointed by the result, and Jadeja’s social media activity added fuel to the fire. He liked two posts on X that said good things about MS Dhoni’s batting and captaincy while taking a dig at Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. According to the post, Dhoni was not given enough backing from these two players, who are regarded as Indian cricket’s mainstays, when he was competing internationally.

It had divided the fans into two parts. One has supported Jadeja for his loyalty towards his former captain, while others have criticized Jadeja for disrespecting his fellow teammates. Realizing the igniting controversy, Jadeja disliked the posts, but by the time he did, screenshots had already been circulated, creating a stir among the fans and cricket lovers.
It is unclear how this incident can affect the team spirit of the Indian cricket squad. Indian players must continue to be united and respectful of one another as the T20 World Cup draws near.
Regarding the event, neither Jadeja nor the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have released an official statement.
In the game, Jadeja went fighting till the very last over, scoring 42 off 22 balls. The match went till the final, where ten runs were required in the last two balls, just like in last year’s final, where Jadeja had the last laugh. This time, Yash Dayal, who was tormented by Rinku Singh in 2023, held onto his nerves and bowled a two-dot ball, which Jadeja missed and led RCB to the playoffs.
