The torch passed on will invariably mean that some would have their moments to speak and open up. Ashwin had his share of this honor by having Jadeja on his YouTube channel for a chat. Jadeja revealed a few things during the interview. Having spent a lot of time in dressing rooms together with Jadeja, Ashwin, who has now retired, got a whole insight. Now this interview is making all the noise.
The 2023 Indian Premier League had a very emotional ride for fans. Under his leadership, Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings towards the fifth title in their career. At the tail-end of the season, a soured relationship was rumored between Dhoni and Jadeja, post an alleged video surfaced showing them trying to out-argue each other.
In the podcast, Jadeja explained the reason for the undertones of sourness between them. He said that the win was very emotional for him, that he hugged Dhoni after scoring those crucial runs in the clutch moments, and it became an emotional moment for both. Jadeja said they had argued on a few occasions about field placements but Dhoni had his reasons for doing so in the interest of the team.
Jadeja went on to say that lifting Dhoni was a special moment for him because he wanted to express his gratitude for the faith Dhoni had put in him. He emphasized that Dhoni has played a bigger role than anyone else in shaping his career and that Dhoni helped him develop as a player.
