All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has drawn criticism for liking a social media post that disparages his Indian teammates, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The incident took place after CSK’s devastating loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their last IPL 2024 group stage match. With this loss, CSK were officially eliminated from the playoffs, which understandably disappointed players and fans.
But Jadeja‘s social media activities fanned the flames even more. He “liked” two posts on the social media platform X that poked fun at Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma while complimenting MS Dhoni on his batting and captaincy. The post implied that Dhoni was not given enough support during his time playing international cricket by these two players, who are regarded as Indian cricket’s mainstays.

Fans are divided over the social media like. Supporters of Jadeja have come out in favor of him, seeing it as a non-threatening gesture of fidelity to his former captain, Virat Kohli. Jadeja has faced criticism from others who believe he is being disrespectful to his teammates and fellow Indian cricket players, Virat and Rohit.
It is unclear how this incident might affect the team spirit of the Indian cricket team. Indian players must continue to be united and respectful of one another as the T20 World Cup draws near.
