IPL 2022: Ravindra Jadeja is CSK Captain But Dhoni Controlling The Game Say Experts And Fans

The IPL 2022 started with a match between the reigning champions and the Kolkata Knight Riders. It is known that just before the game, MS Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja. Though it was shocking news for CSK fans, they welcomed all-rounder Jadeja as their captain.

So far, CSK has played two games against Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, and they lost both matches. After the second defeat, fans were trolling MS Dhoni, saying that Ravindra Jadeja is the captain but the decisions were taken by MS Dhoni in the second match.

Former India cricketers Ajay Jadeja and Parthiv Patel have both criticised the franchise's current leadership situation.

I'm not saying this to brag about Ravindra Jadeja. Even as a cricket enthusiast, I thought it was strange. Jadeja was right there, and you kept running the entire game. See, Dhoni is a big player, and I hate admitting that out loud. But I didn't like what I saw today, "Ajay Jadeja stated in a Cricbuzz live

I'm not criticising the choices. I'm criticising how Dhoni took control. During the team meeting, we observed Dhoni speaking. There's no question that Dhoni knows the game better, and even CSK supporters would want him to reclaim the captaincy. But I do not doubt that he made the incorrect decision in taking over today. If Jadeja was feeling secure about his leadership, he won't now, " added Ajay jadeja

Parthiv Patel, who is also on the panel, believes that if Jadeja is named CSK's captain, he should be allowed full rein, even if he makes mistakes.

Here are some reactions:
