  • Ipl 2022 Chennai Super Kings Ravindra Jadeja Set To Miss Remainder Of Ipl 2022

IPL 2022 | Chennai Super Kings' Ravindra Jadeja set to miss remainder of IPL 2022

It is no secret that defending Champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are having a shambolic time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Injury to key players, issues with leadership, and key players not in form, the franchise is witnessing everything. With only three matches left in the IPL, reports say that Ravindra Jadeja is to miss the team bus after being unable to recover from an injury.


Jadeja suffered an upper-body injury while fielding during Chennai's match against Delhi Capitals, in which they won by a convincing margin. According to the Times of India (TOI), Jadeja's recovery is not as expected, and the management is unwilling to take any further risks. Ahead of the season, Jadeja replaced Mahendra Singh Dhoni as CSK skipper.


Jadeja eventually relinquished the captains' hat to Dhoni after just two wins from eight games. Jadeja stated that he wanted to focus on his performance and hence was stepping down. He has thus far managed 112 runs and picked five wickets across ten games this season. 


With Dhoni back at the helm of affairs, CSK have won 2 out of their last three games and are on 8 points in the table. Chennai has a slim chance of qualifying but will have its hopes pinned on other franchise results.


Most importantly, if Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals notch even one win, CSK's campaign is done and dusted.


With the ICC T20 World Cup just months away, India must have Jadeja in the peak of his health and form.

'It's hard not to take that to heart': Peter Handscomb on criticism in younger days

Australian wicket-keeper batsman Peter Handscomb made his Test debut against South Africa in November 2016 and made an immediate impact by hitting a half-century. In his first four Tests, he hit two centuries and had an average of 99.75. However, since then, he has featured in only 16 Tests and appeared last for the Baggy Greens in 2019. However, in his recent exploits for Victoria, he amassed 697 runs in the 2021/22 edition of Sheffield Shield, earning him a place in the Australia 'A' side which tours Sri Lanka next month. In a recent interaction, the 31-year-old revealed that he faced flak on various social media platforms for his batting style during his younger days. "I found those two platforms probably the worst in terms of people having direct access to you, to just randomly sledge you and take you down," Handscomb told cricket.com.au. The Aussie cricketer thinks it's pretty hard not to take that to heart when someone is calling you 'sh*t', questioning his selection into the Australian team. "When someone's taking the time out to directly message you, calling you shit or 'How dare you be in the Australian side' – that kind of stuff – it's hard not to take that to heart, especially (given) I was quite young at the time," he added. However, Handscomb reckoned that he got over the criticism during the 2017/18 edition of the Ashes. The middle-order batter further added that he would be better equipped to handle such things if he managed to play for the Australian team again. "I got off them during the Ashes (in 2017-18) and that was definitely one of the biggest things that helped," the Victorian suggested. "If that does happen again, and I am lucky enough to play for Australia again then, yeah, I think I'm better equipped to deal with everything that comes with it," he concluded. At present, Handscomb is leading the Middlesex side in County Championship Division II. In the latest outing, he scored 79 to help the team chase down the score of 370. After the culmination of the 1st half of this County season, he will depart for Sri Lanka to play a couple of one-day games and as many first-class matches for Australia 'A'.
