'Dhoni Can't Get Away Without Being Questioned': MS Dhoni Slammed For Including Kedar Jadhav In Playing XI Against RR

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni is facing the heat from the fans for including out-of-form Kedar Jadhav in the playing eleven for the crucial clash against Rajasthan Royals on Monday.

Both Jadhav and MS Dhoni failed to deliver once again as their awful run with the bat in IPL 2020 continued. The CSK skipper walked out to bat as early as the ninth and had enough overs to settle down before going for the big shots. However, the veteran batsman failed to do so.

After a painstaking stay at the crease that saw him score 28 runs off 28 balls, he was run-out in the 18th over when CSK were in dire need of some quick runs. His dismissal brought Kedar Jadhav at the crease and the right-handed batsman failed miserably.

He faced 7 deliveries and managed to score only four runs as CSK finished on 125 for 5 in the allotted 20 overs. The three-time champions once again failed to show any urgency with the bat as they finished on a below-par total. Ravindra Jadeja top-scored for the side, scoring an unbeaten 35 off 30 balls.

Kedar Jadhav has been in terrible form this season and his latest knock has not helped his cause either. As soon as the CSK finished their innings, the fans took to Twitter to slam MS Dhoni for picking his former India teammate in the playing eleven.

Some were furious that Jadhav is being constantly backed over N Jagadeesan who had a decent debut but has not got chance since then. Some fans even said that MS Dhoni keeps picking Jadhav in the team just to hide his own failures. Dhoni is not in a good form this season either and has been facing non-stop criticism from several quarters. The latest failure is bound to increase the pressure on him.

Here are some reactions from the angry fans:

Man Imagine being a youngster in that bench watching Watson, Jadhav starting every game while the team in bottom of the table.. Dhoni can’t get away with this without being questioned..

Kedar Jadhav exists in CSK only to make Dhoni look good in comparison

Never thought a day would come and I’m extremely unhappy with Dhoni decision!! Playing Kedar Jadhav again and again even after consistent worst performances ?!!

I’m 100 % sure Dhoni’s foremost priority now is to make sure that Jadhav doesn’t come to bat so that he can play him next game…

— Sam (@gingerbonda) October 19, 2020

Even the fielders are dropping Jadhav but Dhoni isn’t.

Any MS fan please explain the logic behind Kedar Jadhav being in team? What’s the fault of Jagdeeshan? Played a good knock and dropped in the next game. What’s Dhoni’s obsession with this fraud KJ.
