There is still a lot of time for the IPL 2026 season to start, while there is still time left in the auction. But amidst all this, IPL franchises are continuously active on social media. Sometimes these franchises are discussing the performance of Team India in Test, ODI or T20 series and sometimes these franchises are celebrating the title success of the Indian team in the ICC Women's World Cup. Amidst all this, 5-time champion Chennai Super Kings has created a stir on social media by posting a video of its star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

What is there in the video of CSK's Jadeja?

Chennai Super Kings posted a video of Ravindra Jadeja on their Instagram and X accounts on Friday, November 7. Jadeja is neither seen in Team India's jersey nor in Chennai's colours. He is seen in a regular shirt and jeans, where he has a bat in his hand. Jadeja is wielding this bat like a sword, as he does to celebrate after scoring a half-century or century during any match.

This is why there was an uproar over the video

As soon as this video was posted by CSK, there was an uproar among the fans and there was a flood of replies on the comment section. But the question is, what is there in this video that got a tremendous reaction from the followers? The reason for this is the speculations and rumors regarding the ongoing trade before the IPL auction. In fact, on Friday itself, a report had claimed that discussions have started again between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings regarding Sanju Samson. It was also claimed in the report that Chennai is ready to trade one of its big players with Samson.

Now no one's name was taken in this report but in some other media reports Ravindra Jadeja is being described as a possible player. In such a situation, shortly after these reports came out, CSK surprised everyone by posting this video of Jadeja. There has been no talk about trade in this post, but social media users are considering it as a sign that CSK is not ready to trade their star all-rounder and former captain and he will remain a part of the same franchise in future also.

Give anyone except Jadeja. I can't even imagine him playing somewhere else now. I said no one expects him. Dhoni – Raina – Jadeja carries the same amount of emotion for us. Jaddu shouldn't go anywhere, otherwise we will never forgive you. ❤️🥹 We Love you @imjadeja

Will all the claims be true?

Well, this is not the first time when speculations about trade between Samson and Jadeja have come to the fore. A similar discussion had taken place a few months ago but the matter could not progress further. At that time, it was reported that Chennai was ready to take Samson but had rejected Rajasthan's demand to trade Jadeja. Now once again these reports have surfaced. However, anything can change before the IPL retention window closes and then till the auction takes place. In such a situation, there will be curiosity about this trade in the coming days.
