Dhoni, who captained the CSK team from the start of the IPL in 2008 to 2021 and won the trophy for CSK four times, resigned from the captaincy before the 15th season. Following this, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the captain of the CSK team.
The CSK team is playing under the captaincy of Jadeja this season. Under Jadeja’s captaincy this season has started off badly for the CSK team. CSK lost the first 4 matches. The CSK team, which lost to KKR, scored 210 against Lucknow and lost to Lucknow within that score. CSK lost by 54 runs in the match against Punjab Kings without chasing the target of 181 runs. They also lost the match against Sunrisers by 8 wickets.
It is a known fact that even if Dhoni steps down from the captaincy, he will make important decisions regarding the CSK team and provide necessary advice to Captain Jadeja in difficult and critical situations on the field.
But it is better to do it only when it is most critical or necessary. Dhoni fielded in the match against Lucknow. He provided advice and guidance to the players. Jadejao was fielding on the boundary line. The captain of the team cannot strictly lead or control the team by standing on the boundary line.
Although Jadeja was the captain by name, Dhoni’s captain in action was criticized. Former players Ajay Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh were also pointing it out. Dual leadership is the biggest problem in any field. Whether it is politics or sport, dual leadership does not fit in any field.
Therefore, the CSK team management meeting has taken place to take a firm decision in this regard. With the CSK team playing against the Sunrisers today, the CSK team meeting took place 2 days ago. At that meeting, it was reported that it was decided that Jadeja could take all the decisions regarding the CSK team as a captain, without Dhoni’s intervention or interference, and that CSK would play on the field under Jadeja’s complete guidance.
That is, it has been decided to play under the leadership of Jadeja as a whole, without the intervention of Dhoni, relying on Captain Jadeja, without playing with vague vision and mentality under the dual leadership.
Although this decision was taken before the match against Sunrisers, it is noteworthy that the CSK team also suffered defeat to Sunrisers. However, we will see how the CSK team plays in the upcoming matches.
