CSK would not qualify for the playoffs for the first time in the IPL history.
Chennai Super Kings’ major flop Kedar Jadhav has yet again hit the headlines after the franchise 7-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their latest IPL 2020 contest in Abu Dhabi on Monday (October 19).
The 35-year-old has been targeting by the CSK fans ever since his dismal performance against KKR in the 21st game of the ongoing IPL 2020, but despite his struggles, team management continued to give him an opportunity in the playing XI but has received only disappointment in return.
Well, the right-hander’s latest failure with the bat came against RR when CSK needed him to score the most. But his slow innings, without any intent, made him the focal point of a bundle of social media trolling as the fans are showing their anger with funny memes and criticizing the CSK management for playing him the IPL 2020.
After winning the toss, CSK elected to bat first on a two-paced Abu Dhabi wicket but the decision backfired as they lacked the firepower and were reduced to 56 for four in 10 overs. Later, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja added 51 together for the fifth wicket to take the franchise to a respectable total.
With fourteen balls remaining, Jadhav joined Jadeja at the crease at No.7 but didn’t show any intent to hit out, managing just 4 runs in 7 balls while his batting partner was going for his shots. this resulted in CSK unable to get the final flourish and limped to 125/5 in the 20 overs and eventually lost the game to RR.
The Maharashtra batsman has so far scored only 62 runs from his 8 matches in the ongoing tournament in the UAE. Following his repeated failure in the ongoing IPL 13, the CSK fans were miffed with Jadhav's laidback attitude.
Twitterati trolled the CSK batsman for his latest poor show by making memes and called for the inclusion of either N Jagadeesan or Ruturaj Gaikwad in his place.
