Ambati Rayudu, who has been a part of Chennai Super Kings recent opened up on the speculation regarding a possible rift between the Chennai Super Kings superstars Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni.
The all-rounder was stripped from his captaincy in the middle of IPL last year. He also decided to leave the team mid-season citing an injury and also deleted a lot of posts regarding Chennai Super Kings on his social media platforms. There were also reports of him leaving Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2023. However, Jadeja never left the team and also helped the franchise win a record-equalling fifth title in history.
Ambati Rayudu opens up on the matter
Ambati Rayudu stated that Jadeja never had any issues with MS Dhoni despite reports. In addition to this, he said that the cricketer is what he is today because of MS Dhoni:
“I don’t think Jaddu (Jadeja) was upset with Mahi bhai at all. It was just that he was sad because the team wasn’t doing great. Everyone’s performances that year were not coming up to the mark,” Rayudu said on BehindWoodsTV Youtube channel.
Rayudu believes that the youngster Ruturaj Gaikwad have the potential to become CSK’s future skipper. He said that the cricketer needs to be mentored by MS Dhoni to make him the next captain for a long time. Notably, Gaikwad has previous experience of leading a team in the domestic arena thus, Rayudu is confident of him being Dhoni’s successor.
“Coming to the future, I think Ruturaj (Gaikwad) has a great chance. He has those leadership qualities in him. So, if Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai grooms him say a year or so, then he can lead the team for 7-8 or even 10 years. He is in good hands with Mahi bhai and (Stephen) Fleming. He is calm, down-to-earth, and extremely talented,” Rayudu stated.
“He (Dhoni) has put this team and has made Jaddu (Jadeja) what he is today. He has nurtured him for what, 10-12 years. So he would naturally be happy that the product that he made has won the final for CSK after whatever happened last year,” he added.
