The Indian Premier League 2022 mega auctions are just a few days away, and everyone seems to get into the action. More recently, it was Ravindra Jadeja taking a dig at a Twitter handle.
Star Sports Tamil handle tweeted a post with Chennai Super Kings’ playing XI, where they had put Ravindra Jadeja at number 8. Jadeja, on point with his reply, said “He said, No 8 too early for me! Put me @ 11.”
The Twitter handle asked for fans’ predictions for the line-up they would want to see for Chennai Super Kings this year. The four retained players were already included in the playing XI. Ruturaj Gaikwad was the first opener, Moeen Ali was at number three, MS Dhoni at number seven, and Ravindra Jadeja at number eight. Jadeja also asked for a translation of the tweet earlier.
