“MS Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger

interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game,”
read the CSK statement.

The 2021 champions incurred one of their worst

start to a season as they lost their first four games
in a row before claiming their first victory against
Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 12. And just
when it was expected for a turnaround for CSK
under the leadership of Jadeja, CSK lost two more
matches in their next three games to stand ninth in
the points table.

Jadeja was handed over the leadership role two

days before the start of IPL 2022 with Dhoni
relinquishing the role. And despite the immense
support he has had from his teammates, CSK have
failed to get off to the desired start in IPL 2022.

In addition to CSK's poor run of form, Jadeja too

has struggled in the tournament, scoring just 112
runs in 92 balls at a strike rate of 121.7 with a
boundary every 8.3 balls while also picking five
wickets in eight innings at an economy rate of 8.19.
