Kedar Jadhav represented CSK from IPL 2018-2020 (PC-x.com)
Former Indian and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder, Kedar Jadhav, has found himself in the centre of a controversy after hanging up his boots almost two years ago.
After playing his last professional game around two years ago, a past episode from Kedar Jadhav's illustrious career has come to light, as a cricketer-cum-reality show contestant, Ayush Jamwal, shared an old episode.
What exactly happened between Kedar Jadhav and Splitsvilla Contestant?
Splitsvilla-famed Ayush Jamwal, who also plays professional cricket for Himachal Pradesh, has shared an anecdote involving the former India and CSK player. While talking to YouTuber Harsh Nagar, Jamwal spoke about an incident where the two cricketers abused each other.
Jamwal, who is a spinning all-rounder, recalled a story from the past, when the duo were playing a game against each other on a flat track.

The left-arm spinner bowled to Jadhav, getting a delivery past his edge for which he appealed. Later, the Indian cricketer came to the youngster and abused him, saying, "I can hit you for six in any part of the park". The 26-year-old asked him to "Go for the shot if he had guts".
Jadhav slammed him for a boundary, but only to get a long stare from Jamwal. However, the tweaker got the big wicket of the IPL-winning cricketer and gave him a send-off.
It is not clear when or where this incident occurred, nor has Kedar Jadhav ever commented on the fight.
