Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma, while talking about the appointment of Ravindra Jadeja as new Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain, said that he doesn’t have a lot of captaincy experience in his bag.

On Thursday, March 24, legendary Indian and Chennai Super Kings skipper Dhoni handed over the CSK captaincy to Jadeja ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, which is the 15th edition of the tournament.

Speaking on the YouTube podcast ‘Khelneeti’ Rajkumar Sharma said that Jadeja, after playing a lot of international cricket, knows how to manage a team and Dhoni will also guide him throughout the tournament. He elaborated:

“Ravindra Jadeja is no doubt a leading all-rounder in the world. But since he hasn’t captained much and doesn’t have that much experience, then it would be something to look out for. Sometimes a good cricketer isn’t necessarily a good captain and vice versa.”

“He has been playing international cricket for a long time so he might have an idea about how to manage the team. MS Dhoni will also guide him from time to time. As far as Shreyas Iyer is concerned, he was brilliant for Delhi as a captain. But it will be interesting to see how he gets the best out of his new team.”

Virat Kohli’s childhood coach opined that the young CSK spinner Prashant Solanki has a big opportunity to prove himself as other than Jadeja no spinner has a guaranteed spot in India’s T20I team. He said:

“It is a big opportunity for Prashant Solanki to prove himself as there is a need for spinners. Except for Ravindra Jadeja, no spinner’s place is fixed in India’s T20I team, be it Ashwin or Axar. So it is a good opportunity for any youngster and if they perform well then the team management and selectors would look at them.”
