Banned in 2010
Ravindra Jadeja was part of the 2008 Under-19 World Cup squad and was bought by Rajasthan in the first season. The all-rounder showed his potential in the T20 league, scoring 430 runs in the first two series of the tournament. The then Rajasthan captain Shane Warne named Jadeja a superstar. In 2009, Jadeja also made his international debut against Sri Lanka. Before the 2010 season, it came to light that Jadeja was involved in ‘anti-team activities’. He had violated the players’ guidelines, after which he was banned for one year.
What did Jadeja do?
The complaint was filed against Ravindra Jadeja after he violated IPL rules and negotiated a higher salary with another franchise. He was signed by Rajasthan in 2008 on a 3-year contract. According to reports, Jadeja agreed to play with the team till 2009 itself. After the second season, while still under contract, he started looking for a better deal, which was against the code of conduct. Jadeja could have done this only if the Royals had released him.

The IPL Governing Council had told that Ravindra Jadeja had met officials from Mumbai Indians. Jadeja was banned for a year after discussions with the IPL Governing Council and the BCCI President. The commissioner of the league said at that time, “It has come to our notice that he was trying to violate all the franchise and IPL rules. He tried to bargain with his team regarding the fees. This kind of indiscipline cannot be tolerated.
In the 2011 auction, Kochi Tuskers bought Jadeja for $950,000. In 2012, Chennai Super Kings made him the biggest bid of $2,000,000. Right now Jadeja gets Rs 16 crore every year for playing for Chennai.
