IPL 2022: Ravindra Jadeja may be ruled out due to injury

Ravindra Jadeja. From becoming the Chennai Super Kings captain to leaving the post, now the Saurashtra allrounder is set to be ruled out of the remaining part of the tournament. Jadeja suffered an injury in the upper body while fielding in CSK's loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore and was consequently ruled out of their match against Delhi Capitals which they won handsomely.

The CSK camp assessed his injury for the last couple of days but it hasn't exactly got better. Now with the tournament reaching its business end and CSK to take on Mumbai Indians on Thursday, the team management may not risk him any further. The fact that CSK may well be knocked out if either RCB or Rajasthan Royals manage to win one more game and reach 16 points doesn't give the team too much hope.

CSK, if they win their next three games, can reach a maximum of 14 points. Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants have already notched up 18 and 16 points respectively. For Jadeja, this has been a season to forget so far.

In 10 matches, he has only scored 116 runs and taken 5 wickets, and none were close to being match-winning figures. Jadeja will probably need some rest and come back hard for India going into the T20 World Cup in October- November.
