CSK’s ongoing crisis, first Raina remained unsold, then Jadeja stepped down from captaincy, now Rayudu reversed from announcing retirement

Chennai Super Kings is the team that has played the most 9 finals in the history of IPL. The credit of this success is given to captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s leadership and team management. Apart from this, the mutual bonding of players used to separate CSK from the rest of the teams.

Dhoni, Jadeja and Raina were called the trinity of Chennai. First Raina was dropped, then Jadeja was also unfollowed from the team’s official Instagram account. Another important player of the team, Rayudu suddenly announces his retirement and then the management announces that he is not going anywhere. Be sure to participate in the poll before proceeding.

Suddenly clouds of crisis are seen hovering over this team. Rarely have CSK been in such trouble after being banned for two years for fixing. After being out of the race for IPL 2022 playoff, now there is a head-football in the team which is not taking the name of ending. Let us try to know the main reasons for this upheaval.

Rayudu’s retirement statement is a result of the ongoing turmoil in the team

Ambati Rayudu has been a very successful batsman for Chennai. On the strength of his batting in the middle order, he won many matches for the team. This time his performance was not up to the expectations. In such a situation, suddenly a tweet comes from his official account that he will take retirement from IPL after this season.

Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Viswanathan clarifies that Rayudu is not going anywhere. He may have made this statement under psychological pressure due to poor performance. There was also talk of hacking of Twitter account. If the account is really hacked, then deleting the tweet by reactivating the account within 15 minutes will be considered very fast.

Rayudu must have been apprehensive that the way Suresh Raina was dropped from the team after a poor performance of one season, the same situation could happen to him this time too. That’s why Rayudu announced his retirement even before that period came. After the Raina episode, the old players have lost faith in the team management.

The Chennai management, which has been facing constant criticism over the Ravindra Jadeja case, felt that Rayudu’s hasty decision could send the wrong message. Therefore, there was an immediate denial of Rayudu’s statement of retirement.

Jadeja was not given the freedom of captaincy, then the mid-season captaincy was taken away

CSK is suffering the consequences of mishandling the case of Ravindra Jadeja. Replacing Jadeja as captain in the middle of the season didn’t go down well with the fans. After this, the way he was unfollowed on Instagram, it also fueled the spark.

The question arose that when Jadeja was declared as Dhoni’s successor, why was he not given a chance to lead the captaincy? If all the important decisions were to be taken by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, then what was the point of making Jadeja the captain?

After being removed from the captaincy, Jadeja has kept silence. His silence is bringing the whole matter under the scanner. If it was indeed Ravindra Jadeja’s decision to step down from the captaincy, he should have announced it himself.

Sir Jadeja, who is seen as a different film actor on social media, is silent despite being out of the team due to injury. Their silence speaks a lot about the attitude of the management even after saying nothing.

Raina did not play for 2 years, the team could not make it to the playoffs both times

Suresh Raina was called the best batsman of Chennai. He got MR. IPL status was also given. Raina has won the team innumerable matches with the power of his bat. In such a situation, when some of his family members were killed in a terrorist attack during 2020, Raina thought it appropriate to return to India from Dubai before the start of the IPL.

The way Chennai’s management took a dig at Raina on this decision, it was very shocking for players like him. Raina was definitely made a part of the team in IPL 2021, but it could be felt that Raina is not getting the same respect as before. After this Raina was made to sit on the bench.

Everyone was surprised to see such behavior with the champion player. The entire episode ended in such a way that Suresh Raina had to go unsold in the IPL 2022 auction. In lieu of Raina, the team did not choose any reliable middle order batsman, the result is in front. Raina did not play for Chennai in the year 2020 and 2022 and both the times the team had to face defeat.
