Jadeja is now recognised as one of the top all-format allrounders, but in Super Kings’ poor start to defending the trophy they won at IPL 2021, his form has taken a hit: he has 112 runs in eight games at 22.40, with a strike rate of 121.73, and five wickets at 42.60 with an economy rate of 8.19. This, as against 1592 runs overall for Super Kings at 26.53 with a strike rate of 136.41, and 114 wickets at 28.61 and an economy rate of 7.75.
