“We can’t afford to lose you” – Fans Plead Ravindra Jadeja To Stay Amid Rumored Rift With Chennai
Ravindra Jadeja was busy playing for India in England as he represented his team across all three formats. During this tour, he came up with some special performances, especially with his first ever ton outside India at Edgbaston in the one-off Test match. He also helped India to win both the ODI and T20I series against England on their home soil. Now, he will visit with Team India to West Indies as he was appointed as the deputy of the new captain, Shikhar Dhawa for the upcoming three ODIs, later this month.
But, still, the rumoured rift between him and his Chennai franchise of the Indian T20 League has made headlines as the Chennai all-rounder shared a cryptic message on his account a few days back. In that Instagram story, he wrote: ‘Don’t lower your standards for anyone or anything. Self-respect is everything.’ Earlier this month, he shocked everyone as he deleted all of his Chennai posts for the last two years from his Instagram account. Even, after his special century at Edgbaston, he was asked about this rumoured rift with his franchise by the reporters. In reply, he denied talking about it.
“What happened, happened. Indian T20 League was not on my mind. Whenever you are playing for India, your entire focus needs to be on the Indian team. It was the same for me, there is no better satisfaction than performing well for the Indian cricket team.” Jadeja added. However, despite all these rumours, the Chennai franchise has kept backing Jadeja as the all-rounder and has been doing really well for the Indian side.
But notably, Jadeja has not even dropped a like on the posts, which he usually used to do, alongside commenting, before the rift rumors began. Now, Chennai fans took their Twitter accounts to request Jadeja not to leave this franchise, and thus, ‘We Yellove You Jadeja’ started trending on the social media platform.
Here is how fans have started this trend in support of Jadeja on Twitter:
