CSK captain MS Dhoni finally break silence on Ravindra Jadeja captaincy failure

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday at Pune two days after Ravindra Jadeja handed over CSK’s captaincy to MS Dhoni. Chennai beat Hyderabad by 13 runs to keep their playoffs hopes alive. CSK captain MS Dhoni finally break silence on Ravindra Jadeja captaincy failure in IPL 2022.

After the game, MS Dhoni spoke for the first time about the transition phase in CSK captain and how he helped Jadeja. CSK captain MS Dhoni claimed on Star Sports that Jadeja always knew he would lead the franchise at some point this year, and that he only oversaw the fielding positions for the first few games before allowing Jadeja to make his own judgments.

On the other hand, he stated that the captaincy was impacting Jadeja’s individual game and that he would rather have him as a batter, bowler, and fielder than as a captain. MS Dhoni claimed that Jadeja knew he would be leading the side last year itself.

He also went on to admit that he helped Jadeja with marshalling his troops in the first two games but then left it to the star allrounder to take over and make all the decisions. “Between me and Jadeja, he knew last season itself that he will be given a chance to captain this year.

He knew and got enough time to prepare, what is important is you want him to lead the side and I wanted that transition to happen. In the first 2 games there was information going in towards Jaddu and after that I left it to him to decide which angle to bowl and all that,” he said at the post-match presentation. 

CSK captain MS Dhoni, who has been one of the most successful skippers in the world and in the IPL, reckoned spoon-feeding never helps a captain grow. “Spoon-feeding doesn’t really help captain, on the field you have to take those crucial decisions and you have to take responsibility for those decisions,” he added.

Chennai, who still have an outside chance of making the playoffs, would like to carry the winning momentum forward going ahead in the tournament. Chennai Super Kings will play next game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 04.
