'I'm not concerned': Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming on Ravindra 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.

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. "We had the games taken away or we were not good enough to get across the line.

"We lost some bowlers also, you have to acknowledge that but yeah, we have been just off." Injuries to key players have also affected CSK with Deepak Chahar being the most prominent member to miss the entire season due to a back injury which he sustained while recovering from the quadricep tear. Moeen Ali also missed
