Fans want Kedar Jadhav named Man of Match after he 'single-handedly' wins game for Kolkata

Distraught Chennai fans demanded all-rounder Kedar Jadhav to be named as Man of Match after he single-handedly guided Kolkata to a win - thanks to his 'Test kck' in penultimate over of an 'easily-winnable' T20 game. Chennai suffered a shocking 10-run defeat in hands of Kolkata - a victory that was snatched away right from ir jaws as Chennai's batting order proved to be problematic yet again. Chasing 167 runs, Chennai were looking set to reach target comfortably before Kolkata's bowlers pulled plug on batters, slowing down ir momentum and eventually choking batsmen. 

Kedar Jadhav earned wrath of Chennai fans after he took too long to get going which eventually costed MS Dhoni's men game. Taking an over to get off mark, Kedar Jadhav shocked many after he refused a single off first delivery of last over even as surreal pressure mounted on Chennai. It became worse for fans after Jadeja hammered three back-to-back boundaries to finish game, in despair, however. 

Kedar Jadhav, however, found himself in a tough spot in game on Wednesday, having to come in at 17th over when MS Dhoni departed after yet ar slow kck. Shane Watson (50) and Ambati Rayudu (30) got off team to a good start after an in-form Faf Du Plessis departed for just 17 runs. However, Chennai witnessed same collapse felt by Kolkata in last four overs of ir innings with latter's bowlers completely choking new batsmen at crease, snatching a win right under Chennai's se.

MS Dhoni reveals what went wrong 

"In middle overs re was a phase where y bowled 2-3 good overs. If we batted better and didn't lose 2-3 wickets in a row. We should've been careful in first 5-6 overs. Curran was really good with ball, and I think we did well in general with ball, but batsmen let bowlers down today. Rotation of strike was important, but I think re were hardly any boundaries in final few overs, so we need to be invative at end when y are continuously hitting a back of a length. That's where we need to adapt better with bat and I don't think we did that", said Dhoni.
