Jadeja’s IPL: A whirlwind Tour!
Jadeja in 2008 came on the scene playing for the Rajasthan Royals. Guess what? They won the whole thing that year, and Jadeja wasn’t just along for the ride! After a few seasons, he switched teams, like a chameleon changing colors, joining Kochi Tusker Kerala. But things got tricky, and when Kochi disappeared, CSK swooped in and grabbed him for a king’s ransom in 2012. There was a twist though! CSK got suspended, so Jadeja, the ever-adaptable player, joined Gujarat Lions for a while. Finally, when CSK returned, Jadeja, the loyal knight, came back home in 2018. Now let’s get straight into a roller-coaster ride because we’re just getting started on Jadeja’s incredible IPL story!
