Chennai Super Kings are ninth in the table with 6 points after losing the 15th season of the ongoing IPL series. It is said that the Chennai team removed its main captain Tony and appointed Jadeja for this defeat. After a string of defeats, Jadeja reassigned his captaincy to Tony.
He said it was because of his inability to focus on his batting and bowling. Former Chennai batsman Shane Watson has commented on Jadeja’s resignation as captain. Commenting on Jadeja, Shane Watson said: “It is sad that he resigned after the defeat. Because he is the best player, the cricketer who exhibits the most sophisticated game. But in general it is worrying to see Jadeja in a position like this. He should not have said he was relinquishing the captaincy. But it seems right he gave the lead to Tony again, Watson said.
