The IPL 2022 series has been in full swing for the 4th week in a row in Mumbai with many exciting twists and turns. But the Chennai Super Kings, the defending champions, have not had much success in the last four weeks. The team, which started this year’s series under inexperienced new captain Ravindra Jadeja with the resignation of captain MS Dhoni, has been relegated to the bottom of the points table after losing the first four matches in a row.
However, the team struggled for its first win in the match against Bangalore and then lost to arch-rivals Mumbai in the loss against Gujarat and again in the match against Punjab. The team that has recorded 6 defeats in 8 matches in the current situation has been forced to continue winning in the next 6 matches to qualify for the play-off round with 2 wins. Perhaps even with 6 consecutive wins like that there is a 90% doubt that the knockout will definitely go round.

Rajavardhan has no place:
Chennai’s poor bowling has been the main reason for this series of defeats rather than mediocre batting. Deepak Sahar, who was bought for Rs 14 crore, withdrew early due to injury.
The absence of another good Indian fast bowler in place of Deepak Sahar has been a setback for the team as the management of the team continues to seat Rajwardhan Hunger, a fast bowling all-rounder who won the recent ICC Under – 19 World Cup. Especially in recent matches, the fans who saw him holding the Chennai flag in his hand with a whistle in his mouth and posing as a fan had questioned the Chennai team management that he had paid Rs 1.5 crore for this.

Fleming’s answer:
For the first time, Chennai coach Stephen Fleming has broken his silence on a series of questions from fans. Following is what he said on the CSK website. “You have to be very careful. I know he (Rajwardhan) performed well at the Under-19 World Cup level. But this (IPL) is just the starting point for him. Although we have realized his talents we do not want to immediately push him into the IPL series and damage him. We want to realize his full potential first. ”
“He’s been a great addition to our team right now. He has already played in a few major tournaments (under-19). However we will definitely give him a chance if he gets a chance to play this year. Even if he has good speed it is important to use it properly in a very big arena like IPL. So I don’t want to waste the talent of a quality player like him. “

That means that even quality bowlers like Dwayne Bravo from time to time in a big series like the IPL will have a lot of chances to get kicked off the ball if he gives an immediate chance to Rajwardhan, who has only excelled at the Under-19 World Cup level.
He has said that he will sit on the bench because of this and his talent will be wasted at this young age if that happens. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat him.

But a lot of teams are fielding younger players who are less experienced than him and are finding success in that. If you give a young player like him a chance first in such a situation then he will know how his performance is. CSK fans have expressed their displeasure with Plumbing’s comment that saying that he will buy the ball without giving it a chance is like tapping the level of not believing in the talent of the young player from the beginning.
