Fans Trolled Jadhav For His Test Knock Against KKR In IPL 2020:
Thanks to his ‘Test knock’ in the penultimate over of an ‘easily-winning’ T20 game, distraught Chennai fans asked all-rounder Kedar Jadhav to be named as the Man of the Match after he single-handedly led Kolkata Knight Riders to a victory.
In Kolkata’s possession, Chennai endured a stunning 10-run loss-a win that was snatched right from their jaws as the batting order of Chennai proved once again troublesome. Chasing 167 runs, before Kolkata’s bowlers pulled the plug on batters, slowing down their momentum and finally choking the batsmen, Chennai were looking set to meet the target comfortably.
After taking too long to get moving, Kedar Jadhav won the wrath of the Chennai fans, which eventually cost MS Dhoni’s men the game. Kedar Jadhav surprised many after he declined a single off the first delivery of the last over even as surreal pressure mounted on Chennai, taking an over to get off the mark. After Jadeja hammered three back-to-back boundaries to finish the game, it got worse for the fans, but in desperation.
However, Kedar Jadhav found himself on Wednesday in a tough spot in the game, having to come in on the 17th over when MS Dhoni left after another slow knock. After an in-form Faf Du Plessis left for just 17 runs, Shane Watson (50) and Ambati Rayudu (30) started off the team to a strong start.

However, in the last four overs of their innings, Chennai witnessed the same collapse felt by Kolkata, with the latter’s bowlers absolutely choking the new batsmen at the crease, snatching a win right under Chennai ‘s nose.

Has Kedar Jadhav Justified His Place In The Chennai Batting Line-Up?
With over 13 runs needed per over, the approach of Kedar Jadhav seemed bewildering as he struggled visibly to keep the scoreboard ticking. The 35-year-old cricketer was only able to manage 7 runs out of the 12 balls he was facing with a solitary boundary only. With only 58 runs to his name in six fixtures, with an abysmal strike rate of 98.85, Kedar Jadhav ‘s place in the Chennai line-up may be in trouble.
Looking at the performances of Kedar Jadhav for the Chennai side, his scoring record for Chennai in the previous season is even more terrifying. He averaged a paltry 18.00 with a strike rate of 95.85 in the 14 matches that he played in. It is baffling that even at a run-a-ball pace, Jadhav was unable to score, and chances are high that he could lose out on his place in the upcoming matches of the team in the Dream11 IPL 2020.
While Jadhav is known to be a good bowler, MS Dhoni has not shown sufficient confidence in him with the ball and has preferred other options for bowling. This makes it even more difficult for Jadhav to explain his place in the squad, given the fact that he is also one of the Chennai side’s slowest fielders. The future doesn’t seem to be very promising for Jadhav, with young people like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Narayan Jagadeesan waiting to get into Play 11.
