Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, in a shocking move, has decided to step down as captain and has requested former CSK skipper MS Dhoni to lead the franchise. 

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game as he has requested MS Dhoni to lead the Yellow Army once again.

Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game. Dhoni has led Chennai to four IPL titles in the past 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. However, ahead of the upcoming season, the veteran wicketkeeper decided to step down to give the captaincy responsibilities to Jadeja. Jadeja's big decision to step down as CSK captain in the middle of the season comes after his team, the second most successful team in IPL history, lost 6 of 8 matches this season. Chennai Super Kings in their announcement asserted Jadeja wanted to focus on his game and hence veteran MS Dhoni has accepted to 'lead CSK in the larger interest'.

Kolkata: Ravindra Jadeja will be handing back the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings to Mahendra Singh Dhoni in IPL 2022. The four-time champions, who are currently in ninth position in points table, have had a poor season so far.
