CSK vs PBKS LIVE: Ravindra Jadeja’s form tapers under CAPTAINCY BURDEN, CSK get off to worst start in IPL history
Ravindra Jadeja was handed over the CSK mantle by MS Dhoni but the star all-rounder has gone into a shell as fortunes have tumbled for the defending champions this season. CSK have lost both games and are on the verge of a third, which would mark the first time in history that the franchise lose their first three games in a season.
While Jadeja continues to buckle under captaincy pressure, his returns with both bat and ball have tapered. In the three games, the star Indian all-rounder, who played a stellar role in CSK’s title triumph last year has failed to recreate the magic which made him an invaluable asset to the side.
Ravindra Jadeja’s performances in IPL 2022
vs KKR: 26(28), 0/25 (4)
vs LSG: 17 (9), 0/21 (2)
vs PBKS: 0 (3), 1/34 (4)
With Jadeja hitting a rough patch, CSK fear a repeat of their 2020 season, when the Yellow Army finished second from bottom, in what is their only season without a playoff appearance. CSK would hope that their new captain can buck up some ideas and get their team a win and perhaps get them the momentum to bounce right back into the competition.
