IPL 2022: ‘This defeat against GT would Hurt Jadeja’- Vaughan

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan addressed Ravindra Jadeja’s captaincy after Chennai Super Kings rout to the Gujarat Titans on Sunday. The 47-year-old feels the Super Kings under MS Dhoni didn’t face defeat in too many games from a triumphant position.

The reigning champs drooped to their fifth defeat in IPL 2022 as the Gujarat Titans gunned down a solid target of 170. The Yellow Army held the high ground, diminishing the Titans to 48-4 after eight overs. Nonetheless, David Miller struck an unbeaten 94 to take his side over the line with three wickets to spare.

Vaughan felt the game shouldn’t have been that nearby in any case and that MS Dhoni, as skipper, could not have possibly permitted the opponents to get back in the game. He saw how the former skipper was assuming command over the field settings, saying:

“As a new captain, you want to win tight games. Honestly, it wasn’t a tight game and they lost it. They should have easily won that game by 10 or 15 runs and I can only imagine what would happen now. I don’t remember seeing MS Dhoni lose too many games like that. You are never used to seeing MS’ side lose a tight game and wouldn’t have even let it get to be in tight.”
