His form is a huge concern for CSK and India: Aakash Chopra on Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja was handed over the reins of the IPL team a couple of days ahead of IPL 2022. The additional responsibility has had an impact on his performance as Jadeja is yet to put his best foot forward in the ongoing tournament.

Cricket-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra reckons that Ravindra Jadeja's dismal form is a massive concern for the Chennai franchise and Team India. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said:

"He is struggling for form and that is a huge, huge concern in my opinion for the Chennai franchise and India as well because he is neither picking up wickets with the ball nor scoring runs with the bat."

The 33-year-old all-rounder has accumulated only 112 runs at a below-par average and a strike rate of 22.40 and 121.73 respectively in IPL 2022 thus far. Besides, Jadeja has only five wickets under his belt in eight matches and has conceded an average of 8.19 runs per over.
