Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2022 due to a bruised rib.

Jadeja suffered an injury while attempting a catch during Chennai's game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on May 4. Subsequently, CSK confirmed he was ruled out of the next fixture against Delhi Capitals and now Ravindra Jadeja's campaign has come to an abrupt end.

The franchise's statement read:

"Ravindra Jadeja reported a bruised rib and was unavailable for Chennai Super Kings' game against Capitals on Sunday. He was under observation and based on medical advice he has been ruled out for the rest of the IPL season."

Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on this news. CSK's statement read that Jadeja was ruled out due to injury reasons. However, many fans sensed that it was a possible rift between the franchise's management and the cricketers as the main reason behind his departure.

Here are some of the fan reactions to the news of Jadeja being ruled out of IPL 2022:

Meanwhile, Jadeja's return date is still unknown. However, with India scheduled to host South Africa next month for five T20Is, fans will want a fit Jadeja to don the national colours.

Ravindra Jadeja's record in IPL 2022

The 33-year-old had a disastrous campaign in the 15th edition of the cash-rich league. He was handed the leadership baton ahead of the start of the tournament but Jadeja looked out of place and clueless under pressure.

Chennai endured a poor start to IPL 2022, losing their first six games. The Saurashtra-born all-rounder then relinquished his leadership duties. MS Dhoni was once again appointed as the captain of the Chennai franchise.

Jadeja's individual performance also took a beating because of the additional responsibilities. He was miles away from his usual best, managing only 116 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 118.37 with the highest score of 26*.

With the ball, the ace cricketer managed only five wickets at an economy rate of 7.52 runs per over and an average of almost 50.
