Superstar cricketer Ravindra Jadeja has been on the list of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals for quite for time. His parent team CSK is looking to trade him to Delhi in a swap deal.
It was earlier reported by Cricbuzz that DC had their sight set on Jaddu. Now, additional details have come up claiming Chennai Super Kings wanting to trade him during the IPL 2023 Trading Window if they can get 2 specific players in return.
Ravindra Jadeja to be traded to Delhi Capitals for Shardul and Axar Patel
Stephen Fleming headed CSK management is demanding Delhi to give them two specific Indian players: Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel in an exchange for Jadeja.
Notably, Delhi Capitals badly need a quality spin-bowling allrounder like Ravindra Jadeja after settling for a pedestrian option in Lalit Yadav last season.
Letting Shardul Thakur go back to CSK is a decision that looks possible as he was brought for 10.75 CR during IPL 2022 but failed to do justice to his price tag. Lord Shardul took 15 wickets off 14 games at an economy of 10 while scoring just 120 runs with the bat in hand.
However, trading both him and Axar Patel to get just one player in Jadeja might be a huge ask that can force Delhi to turn the trade offer down. Patel has impressed a lot in T20Is during recent times, taking 20 wickets at an average of 21.20.
Negotiations are still in progress between the two Indian Premier League franchises and whether or not the deal reaches completion is a blind bet.
The IPL 2023 Trading Window ends in mid December and the decision has to be made before the deadline date (yet to be announced).
One of the most iconic CSK players of all time, Jadeja was mistreated last season and had to relinquish his position as Chennai Super Kings captain in the middle of 2022 IPL. Delhi Capitals (amongst a few other teams) have come in to seize the opportunity and take Ravindra Jadeja to their den.

For the unversed, Sir Jadeja had deleted all the CSK related posts from his Instagram about a couple of months ago while also retracting a social media comment in which he had said that he will play for the Chennai-based outfit for another decade.
