CSK's Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the remainder IPL 2022.
Ravindra Jadeja's IPL 2022 campaign was cut short on Wednesday after the former Chennai Super Kings skipper was ruled out due to a rib injury.
However, things may not be as straightforward as they appear. CSK, the four-time IPL winners, have unfollowed Jadeja on Instagram amid speculations of a dispute between the two sides.
CSK had previously changed captains in the middle of the season, after losing six of their first eight games under Jadeja, the captaincy was handed back to MS Dhoni, who had earlier relinquished it to Jadeja before the IPL 2022 started.
Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan believes that Jadeja's time with CSK may be over now that he is out of the IPL 2022.

"I don't know what his injury is. I don't know how much he has been affected by the captaincy. I'm not too sure how much he's been affected by bubble life. You got to remember that these players have been in a bubble and for some players, it's just driving them mad. They just can't cope with the bubble, being restricted," Vaughan told Cricbuzz.
"There has to be a question mark over Jadeja's position in Chennai going forward. If he has had a bit of a fall out because of the captaincy, whether he is injured, we'll have to wait and see what that is. But there has to be a question mark whether it might be coming to... kind of the end... Jadeja at Chennai. Things come to an end. Sometimes, a change might be good for both the player and franchise."
CSK on Wednesday announced in a statement: "Ravindra Jadeja reported a bruised rib and was unavailable for Chennai Super Kings' game against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. He was under observation and based on medical advice he has been ruled out for the rest of the IPL season."
