The veteran CSK all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja, who is well known to have had an impact with both bat and ball, has moved to his former franchise, the Rajasthan Royals. He started his IPL career with the franchise back in 2008 and was part of the Shane Warne-led side that won the first title of the IPL.
As revealed since the talks over Ravindra Jadeja's probable swap were unleashed, there have been speculations claiming that he might be roped in as the Rajasthan Royals' new skipper for the next season.
According to a report in the Times of India, Jadeja is now considered one of the top choices for captaincy for the upcoming season of IPL. This has shocked all to an extent since the other three options cited before looked pretty young to be considered as a long-term option, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Jadeja, who is 37 years old.
Jadeja will officially be made the Captain after the mini-auction
“Jadeja will be given the reins. The announcement will be made in two months," a source was quoted as saying by TOI. Now, the captaincy might be what lured Ravindra Jadeja to join the Rajasthan Royals, as he even agreed to a huge INR 4 crore pay cut to join the Royals.
Royals to revamp squad with adequate purse
Though the Rajasthan Royals' batting order looks more comprehensive than before despite the departure of their former skipper, they would yet have to target some or at least a few big names in the mini-auction.
With a purse of 16.05 crores and only 2 compulsory slots remaining to reach the required tally of 18 players, the Royals might be looking to rope in at least one of those big names.
