Ravindra Jadeja's record in IPL 2022
The 33-year-old had a disastrous campaign in the 15th edition of the cash-rich league. He was handed the leadership baton ahead of the start of the tournament but Jadeja looked out of place and clueless under pressure.
Chennai endured a poor start to IPL 2022, losing their first six games. The Saurashtra-born all-rounder then relinquished his leadership duties. MS Dhoni was once again appointed as the captain of the Chennai franchise.
Jadeja's individual performance also took a beating because of the additional responsibilities. He was miles away from his usual best, managing only 116 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 118.37 with the highest score of 26*.
With the ball, the ace cricketer managed only five wickets at an economy rate of 7.52 runs per over and an average of almost 50.
