The legendary India National Cricket Team and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni has decided to hand over the CSK captaincy to spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
The shocking development was confirmed by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Thursday, March 24 through an official release. In the statement released by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), it was asserted that Dhoni has decided that he will not continue as captain and has picked Jadeja to lead the team in the cash-rich league. It further added that Dhoni will continue to represent the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and beyond.

“MS Dhoni has decided to hand over the leadership of Chennai Super Kings and picked Ravindra Jadeja to lead the team. Jadeja, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will only be the third player to lead CSK. Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings this season and beyond,” CSK stated.
Notably, Ravindra Jadeja has become only third captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after legendary MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina, who was released by the franchise ahead of the Indian Premier League 2022 mega auction.
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is arguably the most successful captain in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). As a captain, Dhoni has played 204 games and had won 121 games and he had a win percentage of 59.60.
Also, under his leadership, Chennai Super Kings won 4 Indian Premier League championships and Dhoni is also a two-time Champions League T20 winning captain. Fans on Twitter were left stunned after Dhoni decided to pass on the captaincy to Jadeja and it is definitely the end of an era for Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni fans.
Here’s How Twitter Reacted To MS Dhoni Handing Over Captaincy To Ravindra Jadeja:
Thala, You will always be our Captain cool @msdhoni. Leader and Inspiration forever!!

Clear signs of things to come. Dhoni handing over captaincy to Jadeja. Passing of the batton but also of a journey that was filled with its ups and downs. Best of luck @imjadeja as you lead @ChennaiIPL! Going to be very interesting in how CSK now use MS the keeper, batsman 🙂

MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli as non-captains…I don't know this league anymore.#IPL2022

With Dhoni stepping down as captain… Hopefully end of that magic he does on CSK… It will be so interesting to see how they will play of course even Dhoni won't be captain but still everything will be done by him.

CSK officially posted about:
MS Dhoni has handed over the CSK captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja ahead of IPL 2022.— Mr. Critic 2️⃣.0️⃣? (@ChiragA45) March 24, 2022
So truly the end of an era. No Kohli, no Dhoni as captain.
Also means this could very well be the last season that Dhoni plays.

Thank you for everything MS. Nobody could have done more than what you achieved for CSK. The one and forever Thala! ? pic.twitter.com/0KfWz7Wvwc

Don't think anybody other than MSD can do good with the bowling attack we have lol.
— Manya (@CSKian716) March 24, 2022
So Jadeja and Hardik will likely be the only captains in the ten teams to bowl at least one delivery in #IPL2022.
PS: Unless the greatest T20 leggie, Faf du Plessis, who has two successive five-fors, bowls again ?
— Rohit Sankar (@imRohit_SN) March 24, 2022
It is going to be so weird not seeing Dhoni and Kohli walking out for CSK vs RCB toss. Used to be a wholesome moment.
