Chennai Super Kings captain Ravindra Jadeja has been out of form opener Ruturaj Gaikwad despite his third successive failure in IPL 2022. Gaikwad was dismissed for just 1 against Punjab Kings as CSK lost the crucial contest by a huge margin of 54 runs. Last season’s Orange Cap winner has scored just 2 runs in three matches so far.
It was a crushing defeat for CSK as their batting department failed to give PBKS any match in their chase of 181 runs and were bowled out for just 126 runs. This was the first time since IPL 2018 that CSK were dismissed by any team in the tournament. ,

It hasn’t been a good start for Ravindra Jadeja as captain as CSK have failed to open an account in the points table and are placed ninth with three losses in as many matches.
Captain Jadeja admitted that the Yellow Army failed to find momentum with the bat on the first ball and lost several wickets in the powerplay.
“We lost a lot of wickets in the powerplay, we didn’t get the pace from the first ball. We need to find a way to get better and come back stronger,” Jadeja said after the match.
Talking about Gaikwad, Jadeja has assured that the management will support him and try to give him the confidence to do well in the upcoming matches.
“We need to give him confidence, we need to support him, we all know he is a very good player. We will definitely support him and I am sure he will do well.”

One of the positives for CSK was the batting performance of Shivam Dubey, who was the only batsman who showed some intention with his brutal knock of 57 off 30 balls.
Jadeja said that the management will try to keep Dubey in a good mind so that he can continue his good form with the bat.
“He (Dubey) is batting so well, he batted well today, it will be important to keep him in a good frame of mind. Certainly, we will try our best, work hard and come back stronger,” Jadeja concluded.
