Dhoni, who captained the CSK team from the start of the IPL in 2008 to 2021 and won the trophy for CSK 4 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. The CSK team did not start successfully this season under the captaincy of Jadeja. CSK lost the first 3 matches. The CSK team, which lost to KKR, scored 210 runs against the Lucknow team and the CSK team embraced defeat as they could not control the Lucknow team within that score. CSK lost the match by 54 runs against Punjab Kings, not chasing the target of 181 runs.
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. Captain Jadeja was fielding on the boundary line. Ajay Jadeja had strongly criticized Dhoni’s action.
Harbhajan Singh has also spoken about this. Harbhajan Singh said the Jadeja captain should accept responsibility and lead the way.
Speaking on the occasion, Harbhajan Singh said, “I think Dhoni is still the captain of the CSK team. I saw Jadeja fielding at the boundary line. It is difficult to guide and control the team players while fielding on the boundary line. So Dhoni is just doing the captaincy. This is a headache for Dhoni. Jadeja is self-confident; Excellently talented. Harbhajan Singh has said that he should accept the responsibility of a captain and lead the team.
