CSK won only two out of their eight games under Jadeja this season.
In what was a shocking development, Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday (30th April) resigned as the skipper of Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The all-rounder handed the leadership reins back to MS Dhoni.
Ahead of the IPL 2022, Dhoni passed on the captaincy baton to Jadeja but his stint as the captain of the side didn’t turn out to be fruitful. Under him, CSK lost six matches and has won only 2 matches so far from the 8 they have played this season.
Jadeja has decided to focus more on his game. It is fair to say that the pressure of captaincy didn’t do any good to him as he looked off colour with both bat and ball and even has been sloppy on the field. He has made just 115 runs and taken 5 wickets in IPL 15 so far.
