Out of all people they could have released, why did they release Jaddu?

And once his bhoot on Captaincy is over in 2026, who knows he'll come back to CSK in the next auction.

Most probably he joined bjp that's why maybe they let him go. I saw some Tamil csk fans were happy that Sanghi kicked out from csk
