Ravindra Jadeja was one of the three players to be retained by the Chennai Super Kings. It left everyone surprised when he was retained ahead of Ashwin who had a successful history for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.

Jadeja has been out of India's limited overs' squad for close to a year now and is being seen as a Test specialist bowler. Still, the Chennai Super Kings showed confidence in him and may be regretting their decision now.

In the ongoing IPL, Jadeja has bowled only 8 overs so far in this season taking one wicket, giving away 62 runs at an economy of 7.75. Also, he has managed to score just 44 runs in the 4 matches that he batted.

He has been promoted up the batting order ahead of Dwayne Bravo and has failed to deliver. With leg-spinner Imran Tahir performing, it is likely that Jadeja will soon be dropped from the team if his poor show continues.
