The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have already begun training for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2021 (IPL 2021) season. Several of their stars, including captain MS Dhoni, can be seen sweating it out at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. However, senior all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja is yet to join the CSK camp as he continues his stay at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

Rahul Dravid-led NCA yet to provide Ravindra Jadeja injury update: CSK

Ravindra Jadeja is yet to recover from the thumb injury he sustained in Australia earlier this year. The all-rounder was omitted from the entirety of India’s home series against England. As of now, Jadeja is at the Rahul Dravid-led NCA to recover from his injury. Meanwhile, the IPL 2021 season is scheduled to commence from April 9 onwards in Chennai.

While speaking with InsideSport, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said that they “really don’t know” when Ravindra Jadeja will be joining them. He added that the veteran all-rounder must be released by the NCA first as he races against time to attain full fitness. Viswanathan confirmed that they will now be beginning their training camps in Mumbai from March 27 onwards and their coach Stephen Fleming has already reached the city.

The Ravindra Jadeja IPL 2021 contract is worth ₹7 crores. One of the veterans of CSK, he has represented the franchise in their every seasonal campaign since 2012. Even last year, when CSK finished at seventh position, Jadeja was one of their standout performers with the bat. He scored 232 runs at a strike-rate of 171.85 and also picked up six wickets.
