Ravindra Jadeja new captain : IPL 2022 will start from March 26. All team ready for mega event. In big development Chennai Super Kings announced new captain for IPL 2022. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will take over the captaincy of master franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from Mahendra Singh Dhoni for IPL 2022, according to an official statement.

Ravindra Jadeja new captain, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will only be the third player to lead CSK. MS Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings this season and beyond, according to the statement. MS Dhoni, who has been the CSK captain since the league’s inception in 2008, could be playing in his last IPL this season.

He has already retired from international cricket. CSK have won the IPL title four times (in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021), only behind Mumbai Indians and have the highest win percentage of matches among all teams in the IPL (64.83%). They also hold the record for most appearances in the playoffs (eleven) and the Final (nine) of the IPL.

Defending champions CSK will open their campaign against last edition’s runner-up side Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday. Former cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar handpicked last IPL’s leading run scorer, Ruturaj Gaikwadm to play a key role in CSK’s title defence. “Ruturaj Gaikwad is another player who has very little areas to improve. There is nothing really required as far as Gaikwad’s improvement is concerned.

He has got all the shots in the book, but the most impressive aspect is his shot selection,” he said. “Whatever shot he plays, he doesn’t get cowed down. He is not afraid to play the lofted shot when required and his shot selection has been very good in the IPL.
