It will be a short auction as we had the big one last season. The last auction was the major one and the next three will be mini auctions as the teams want to develop the squads,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport earlier.

He was unceremoniously removed from captaincy midway through IPL 2022 and MS Dhoni was reinstalled as captain. But the transition did not go well as CSK finished 9th with just four wins.
InsideSport has learnt that Jadeja hasn’t been in touch with the franchise since IPL 2022 and wants to move on. Although he has a three-year contract with CSK, he is upset with the franchise for not giving him a longer rope as a captain. Jadeja has already deleted all the photos and videos from his CSK days from his social media accounts. He has even unfollowed CSK.
However, a recent Cricbuzz report suggests that CSK are not willing to let their mega-star go. Delhi Capitals apparently made an approach too but was refused by Chennai Super Kings.
- Since being removed from captaincy, Jadeja has decided to sever all connections with the franchise.
- Jadeja underwent rehab at NCA for his RIB injury.
- But despite still being contracted with CSK has never informed anything about his injury to CSK.
- Jadeja also has deleted all his CSK-related posts from his social media accounts.
- Jadeja was also the only player who was not part of the video that was put out by CSK to wish captain Dhoni on his birthday.
- Jadeja has been approached by multiple franchises but CSK have refused to let him leave.
