I'm not concerned: CSK coach Fleming on Jadeja's poor form

Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming is not too concerned about the form of Ravindra Jadeja but said going forward, the team will evaluate which position in the batting order best suits the star all-rounder. In the 10 matches this season, Jadeja has scored just 116 runs at an average of 19.33 in 10 games, while taking five wickets at an economy rate of 7.52. On Wednesday, Jadeja was dismissed for three as CSK went down by 13 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore, their seventh loss overall. "No, I am not concerned. The T20 game can be tough and when you are batting at No 5 or 6, you do not get a lot of time to get your rhythm or tempo," Fleming said during a virtual press conference.

"We will look at it now and work out what the best order would be going forward. But, no I am not concerned about his form." Terribly out of form, Jadeja had last week handed back captaincy to Mahendra Singh Dhoni to focus on his own game. With just six points from 10 games, CSK are virtually out of the tournament and Fleming admitted they "have been off in all departments." "Our fielding at times, the catches we dropped is of concern. We are not far away, in lot of games you can say we were really close in winning them.
