CSK’s chief executive officer Kasi Vishwanathan said Jadeja had a bruised rib. “The medical advice is he should not strain it, so we have decided that he should leave the IPL,” ESPNcricinfo quoted him as saying.
He further said he started feeling pain in his rib at the time when he was removed as a captain after going through some continuous defeats in the IPL as a captain.
