5-time champion Chennai Super Kings has created a stir on social media by posting a video of their star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
But what’s the reason?
Chennai Super Kings posted a video of Ravindra Jadeja on their Instagram and Twitter accounts on Friday, November 7th. Jadeja is neither wearing a Team India jersey nor Chennai colors. He is seen in a regular shirt and jeans, holding a bat. Jadeja is swinging the bat like a sword, as he does when celebrating after scoring a half-century or century during a match. Audio from a movie is playing in the background.
As soon as CSK posted this video, fans went wild, and the comments section was flooded with replies. But the question is, what is it about this video that sparked such a strong reaction from followers? This is due to speculation and rumors surrounding a trade ahead of the IPL auction. In fact, on Friday, a report claimed that discussions had resumed between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings regarding Sanju Samson. The report also claimed that Chennai was prepared to trade one of its top players for Samson.
While no names were mentioned in this report, other media reports are pointing to Ravindra Jadeja as a potential player. Shortly after these reports surfaced, CSK surprised everyone by posting this video of Jadeja. The post doesn’t mention a trade, but social media users are interpreting it as a sign that CSK is not ready to trade its star all-rounder and former captain and that he will remain with the franchise.

This isn’t the first time speculation has surfaced about a Samson and Jadeja trade. Similar discussions took place a few months ago, but things didn’t progress further. At that time, reports suggested that Chennai was willing to acquire Samson but rejected Rajasthan’s demand to trade Jadeja. Now, these reports have surfaced again. However, anything could change between the IPL retention window closing and the auction. Therefore, curiosity about this trade will remain high in the coming days.
