Jadhav was a part of the Virat Kohli-led franchise during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, post which he was racked up by CSK in the 2018 auctions. Jadhav said that the major point of difference between playing for CSK and RCB is MS Dhoni, who backs his players to the hilt.
“Major difference between playing for RCB in Bengaluru and for CSK in Chennai is the captain who backs you and gives you the opportunities and has the confidence and faith in you,” Kedar Jadhav was quoted as saying by India Today.
He added “If you know as a player your captain (MS Dhoni) backs you and gives you more than enough opportunities, there is no better feeling. You can see the happiness on his face when you perform, he’s happy for you,”
Jadhav did not have a fruitful 2019 season for Chennai Super Kings but he was still retained by the Dhoni-led outfit ahead of the 2020 Indian Premier League auctions.
Speaking of MS Dhoni, the former Indian captain was supposed to make his comeback to international cricket with the 13th edition of the IPL. But, with the steadily escalating situation with regards to coronavirus, the tournament was initially postponed till April 15.
But with India currently under lockdown till May 03, the 13th season has been postponed indefinitely, further delaying Dhoni’s return.
