Jordan, who in some sections is being seen as Dwayne Bravo’s heir in the Super Kings’ squad, hasn’t lived up to those standards yet. He picked up two wickets on his debut against the Punjab Kings but has gone wicketless in the three matches since. The Englishman has an economy rate of 10.52 and has failed to be thrifty at crucial stages.
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Manjrekar pointed out that this poor form isn’t an aberration but a continuation of his overall IPL figures. He said the Super Kings should consider their options. He believes, at the very least, they won’t be more expensive than Jordan. He said:
Manjrekar added:
On the four-time champions’ batting, Manjrekar saw an improvement despite their narrow loss against Gujarat Titans. He said opener Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 48-ball 73 and Ambati Rayudu’s 31-ball 46 in their last match against Gujarat Titans were “good news.” The cricketer-turned-analyst added:
Gaikwad and Rayudu’s poor form was one of the reasons why the Super Kings find themselves placed ninth in the IPL 2022 points table. They have won just one match in the six they’ve played so far in IPL 2022. They’ll not only need these players to be consistent but also others, especially the bowlers. They will need each player to chip in with more to have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
