Has Jadeja been the Worst Indian International player in IPL ?

I can even count many good seasons of rahane n dhawan but jadeja hardly a few. May be a season where he put up some muscles for Kochi tuskers n started hitting sixes or may be 1 more . You can name a few like unadkat n dhawal but they havent had this permanent spot for any franchise . 

 

What's going wrong for Jadeja?
Jadeja became the first spinner to go for 40+ runs in three consecutive IPL games after he went for 44 runs off his four overs. His statistics so far are in stark contrast to previous seasons, when he was one of the more economical spinners in the league. One reason is that the pitches have not suited him as much as the Chepauk pitch does. He has bowled similar lines and lengths to previous seasons, but balls that usually work for him have not. For example, he has bowled eight full balls this season for 23 runs, where pitching it right up is often his strength. His short-of-length balls have also not worked - they've gone at a strike-rate of 166.67. Jadeja has always struggled against left-hand batsmen, but this season he is going at 9.79 per over against right-handers too.

Jadeja has not been able to vary his pace as much as Axar has, and he has not cramped the batsmen for room as much. But another possible reason for his poor numbers is that since Super Kings do not have a fifth bowler, batsmen are targetting him. Dhoni does not like using Jadhav as a part-timer, which means Jadeja is being forced to complete his quota. Super Kings may look to play another bowler to ease some of the pressure on Jadeja, and there is also the option of playing Imran Tahir or Mitchell Santner over him, though that will mean having to drop one of the other overseas players. Jadeja tends to thrive when bowlers around him are taking wickets, so Tahir for Piyush Chawla is another possible switch.

Sad part is he holds a permanent spot in our t20 side 

 

When guys like

 

  1. Axar- who hardly gives runs and looks more assured with bat then him 
  2. Krunal- Won MOM n MOS in international t20, jadeja ull hardly find any
  3. Sundar- batting looks better
  4. Nitish rana- Much better batsman 
  5. Shardul- even he is miles ahead as slogger
  6. harshal - take him , his pace is around 140k now and he slogs so better
