Ravindra Jadeja on Management’s treatment of the players
“CSK management and the owners (N Srinivasan) never put any pressure on any players. Even now after 11 years with CSK, they have the same attitude and the approach. They’ll never make you feel low even when you aren’t performing well,” Jadeja told ‘Star Sports’.
The all-rounder said that there is no pecking order in the CSK set-up and senior and juniors are treated equally. He also said that he has never experienced a bias towards any particular player.
“There is no senior and junior kind of thing there. Even any youngster from U-19 will get the same respect and treatment like other senior players. No pressure at all. No biasness among any players, whether they are playing or not.”
Why CSK has such die-hard fans
The southpaw also spoke on how CSK as an franchise has a deeper connection with the fans and also told how they helped their fans watch their games in Pune in IPL 2018 season.
“In Pune, CSK Franchise made complete arrangement for 2k-3k fans to stay in Pune and watch all those seven matches which were scheduled to be played in Pune. Their stay and food arrangements, everything was done by CSK franchise. Also they were given CSK jerseys.”
Playing at their home ground
