The 15th edition of the IPL got off to a great start on March 26 in Mumbai. In the first match of the series, defending champions CSK clashed with Kolkata. Kolkata beat Chennai by 6 wickets to record their first win of the series.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was the captain of the CSK team until the start of the series, announced his resignation just two days before the start of the tournament. Following that, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain of the Chennai team.

Jadeja has been appointed as the full-time captain of the CSK team, with many already speculating that Jadeja will be the next captain of the Chennai team when Dhoni steps down as captain.
On the one hand, Dhoni’s resignation from the captaincy was sad but on the other hand, congratulations were heaped on Jadeja. But Jadeja, who lost his first match as captain, is currently facing some criticism. Speaking on the occasion, former India captain Mohammad Kaib said:

Jadeja has been very good at batting lately. But in the first match when the captain took office he became batting sluggish. The reason for that was that he was a little nervous because the captain had put the responsibility on him. He was unable to play the old game due to the extra pressure from the captaincy.
