Ahead of the Indian Premier League 2022, MS Dhoni had passed the baton of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. However, the team has not been able to perform well and has only two wins in eight appearances. These performances certainly put pressure on the team management and Jadeja, as they have handed back the captaincy to Dhoni. The former Indian cricketers Wasim Jaffer and Deep Dasgupta opined on this latest development.

Jaffer thinks Jadeja was not at his best in both departments of the game due to the pressure of captaincy. He reckoned that he looked at Dhoni for the bowling changes in crunch moments, and was clueless. Jaffer added that if Dhoni had continued to be at the helm of CSK, the team would have obtained better results this season.

“I think Jadeja was not enjoying the role, and I can understand because he did not captain any of the teams before this tournament. His performances with the bat and ball have dropped. It becomes difficult to bring which bowler into the attack when you have never led because you have not counted it before. If Dhoni would have continued, they would have had better results. If MS was captain, he would have done some wonders,” said Jaffer on Sky247.net presents ‘Not Just Cricket’ Show on CricTracker.

Dasgupta said it feels normal as MS has returned as the leader of CSK, and he hopes the team performs well in the upcoming matches of the ongoing season. He also took out one important point from this captaincy change, that Dhoni will at least play another season.

“It feels like normal after he is back again. Hopefully, this will bring back the performances of the Chennai team as well. Now you can’t be worried about the remaining game of the season. Also, one of the things which I read out of this captaincy thing is that MS will be around for the next season as well,” said Dasgupta.
