The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) finished second in the points table after losing their last league game to the Kings XI Punjab on Sunday. They will be facing the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Chepauk on Tuesday in the first qualifier. Ahead of the game though they have been jolted with an injury blow. Kedar Jadhav has sustained a shoulder injury and has been ruled out of the remainder of the season now.

Chennai Super Kings confirmed the news on Monday in a social media post on Twitter. “The Lion that will be sitting it out for the rest of the season. Wishing our Kedar a super speedy recovery from the sustained shoulder injury! The Pride will miss you,” the tweet with Kedar Jadhav’s picture read.

Stephen Fleming, on Sunday, in the post-match press conference, had hinted that Kedar’s IPL might have got over and hoped that the injury is not serious.

“Kedar is getting an X-ray and a scan tomorrow. We’re hopeful for him. I don’t think we’ll see him again in this tournament for us. So now his attention will turn to what it looks like for the World Cup. He’s in some discomfort but we just need to be accurate with our assessments tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it’s nothing too serious,” he had said.

Who will replace him in the line-up?

CSK, like last year, have dealt with several injury blows this season as well. Kedar Jadhav was the part of the playing XI for the league matches and had played a decent role batting at five and six. In his absence now, Dhruv Shorey looks the prime candidate to come into the line-up. Shorey has played only a solitary match this season and this is a great opportunity for him to shine in the playoffs.
