Ravindra Jadeja who was appointed as a captain for team Chennai Super Kings during the start of the ongoing IPL season, handed over the captaincy back to MS Dhoni, according to the official website  of Chennai Super Kings. It has been reported that Jaddu made this decision to concentrate on his own game. It is notable that CSK lost 6 out of 8 matches in the ongoing edition.

The statement was made official on Saturday, a day before Chennai was about to face Sunrisers Hyderabad of Kane Williamson. “Jadeja took this decision to focus and concentrate on his own game and has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK” The IPL franchise said in a statement.

“Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his own game” the statement further read. It is also notable that Jadeja, as an all rounder, failed to perform due to the pressure that comes with the leadership responsibilities. In the 8 matches that took place so far, Jaddu has picked only 5 wickets and scored just 112 runs.

Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has led CSK till the last season and has won four titles so far including the last year’s. CSK is currently in the 9th position in the 10 team tournament and has very less chance to qualify for the playoffs.

Jadeja to handover CSK captaincy back to MS Dhoni:Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game & has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK. MS Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest & to allow Jadeja to focus on his game.

As soon as the announcement surfaced, various kind of reactions started surfacing from fans, experts and former cricketers. Harsha Bhole, in his tweet, said that it would be cool if Jaddu gave up the captaincy as a relief but if the sees it as a failure, it would affect him. Trolls are also flooding the online platforms based on the failure of the team in the tournament and Dhoni’s domination even during Jaddu’s captaincy.

Check out some of the reactions below :

The return of Dhoni as captain might cheer fans but it is Jadeja who is the more critical person here. If he found it a burden and if it releases him, this might be good news. But I hope he doesn’t feel a sense of failure because that could affect him for a while.

The feeling we’re all going to experience seeing Dhoni lead CSK again might seem like deja vu, but it’s in fact Jadeja vu 😛 #CSK𓃬 #IPL2022
