The defending champions, Chennai Super Kings, have once again made it to the playoffs. While the bowling has come good for the Superkings, the batting has been a cause of concern. A couple of players in the side haven't been able to get going this season. One of those players is Kedar Jadhav. Jadhav missed the entire season last year after suffering from a hamstring injury.

The all-rounder had a couple of series playing for India coming into the IPL. He has been given a chance to play in the top 5 in most of the matches. But he has failed to do justice to the faith put in him by CSK. In 14 matches so far, Jadhav has scored 162 runs at an average of 20.25.

The worrying factor is his below par strike-rate of 96.42. Dhoni hasn't used him at all with the ball. Even though CSK does not believe in changing things too much, Jadhav would know that he should have done better.
