The team is losing one match after another. He could not do very well as a captain. Leadership was an added pressure for him. That is why Rabindra Jadeja stepped down from the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings today. As a result, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has taken over the captaincy of Chennai again in the middle of IPL.
Dhoni has been the captain of Chennai since the birth of IPL. At the start of the season, Dhoni was given the captaincy without Jadeja. But leadership pressure was affecting Jadeja’s performance. The team is not doing well. So far Chennai have lost 6 out of 6 matches. The team’s position in the points list is number nine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Once again Chennai captain Dhoni
After failing as captain, Jadeja asked Dhoni to take charge again. Thinking about the team, Dhoni also agreed to the proposal. The Chennai Super Kings said in a statement: “MS Dhoni has agreed to take over the captaincy of Chennai for the greater good of the team, so that Jadeja can focus on his game.”
Jadeja has so far scored only 112 runs at an average of 22.40 in 6 matches with the bat in this year’s IPL. He took only 5 wickets with the ball at an economy rate of 8.19. Chennai’s next match is against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. With that match in Pune, Dhoni will return to lead Chennai.
