As soon as the report on Ravindra Jadeja taking over the captaincy from Mahendra Singh Dhoni surfaced, a number of fans started circulating one of the old posts of Ravindra Jadeja in which he extended his support to party BJP. The political party which is considered as one of the weakest parties in state Tamil nadu, often became a subject to online trolls due to their ideologies.

Netizens mention BJP supporters as “Sanghi”, on Thursday, termed Jadeja as the same after he became the third captain of second successful IPL team. It is notable that the wife of the left hand all rounder is a member of BJP party.

On Thursday, CSK, in a statement said that Jadeja will be taking over the captaincy from Mahendra Singh Dhoni for the second most successful IPL team, Chennai Super Kings.

The statement of Chennai Super Kings clearly indicated that it was Dhoni who picked Jadeja to be his successor. It is notable that the left arm all rounder was retained for Rs. 16 crore ahead of the IPL meha auction.

“Jadeja who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will only be the third player to lead Chennai Super Kings” said CSK in it’s statement. “Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings in this season and beyond” the statement further added.

Dhoni who has been leading the four time IPL champions since the inaugural season in the year 2018, has never endorsed any political party in his 20 years international cricket.

Now, after the captaincy announcement, a tweet uploaded by Jadeja on 15 th of April 2019, is being circulated by the fans. “I support BJP.@narendramodi #rivabajadeja jai hind” wrote Jadeja in his tweet by uploading the picture of BJP.

There’s no point in supporting CSK or watching cricket anymore once #MSDhoni𓃵 retires in IPL too😢 Leaving a legacy to a person who’s supporting a party which spreads hatred towards certain religions. My days as a cricket fan got over in 2019,now everything is done and dusted. https://t.co/L9H7kgeyhv
