MS Dhoni Had Given Captaincy To Ravindra Jadeja Just Two Days Prior To The Start Of The Season

Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali were retained by CSK ahead of the mega auctions. Everyone was expecting Dhoni to lead the side in IPL 2022 as well, but in a shocking turn of events just two days prior to the start of the tournament the franchise announced that Jadeja would be taking over the reins from Dhoni looking at the future.

But poor performance in the season has meant that Dhoni would be back to lead CSK in their next game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
