In the thrilling encounter against Kings XI Punjab, Chennai Super Kings were defeated by 4 runs. Going to achieve the 198-run target, Chennai's team could only manage 193 runs losing 5 wickets. After the defeat of Chennai, the same question was raised in everyone's mind that instead of the form batsman Dwayne Bravo, why was Ravindra Jadeja sent in this match earlier.
The way he batted against Mumbai Indians looked like the possibility of playing on them but in the next two matches, Jadeja got to bat first before Bravo. In the match against Kings, Mahendra Singh Dhoni played a magnificent 79-run innings in 44 balls, but the team still lost.
In the last over, Jadeja scored 19 runs off 13 balls but could not win the team. After this, many raised questions about Jadeja's batting order. These questions were answered by Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni himself. Dhoni said that he wants to play the role of finisher in the Jadeja team.
He said, "At the time of the match, coach Stephen Fleming takes a decision on the batting order, we also want his side to take decisions that Jadeja will benefit the team in batting. We trust him and due to being a left-handed batsman, he is sent to the top so that the bowlers have difficulty in the line. "
Describing Bravo as a strong side of the team, Dhoni said, "If Jadeja does not play his role on the field, then we have Bravo, he has the experience of playing in every situation but the team has great expectations from Jadeja." He said, 'Suresh Raina comes in the upper order and Jadeja is at number five or sixth. The bowler is a bit worried about left-handed batsmen and our effort is to find a victory in the same trouble.
