MS Dhoni resigned as captain of the Chennai Super Kings barely two days before the start of the IPL 2022. Dhoni guided CSK to four IPL championships in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021. CSK stated that MS Dhoni has chosen Ravindra Jadeja as the team's captain.

The reigning champions CSK will be led by the left-handed all-rounder in their season opener against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.

CSK became the most successful IPL franchise of all time under Dhoni's leadership, failing to qualify for the playoffs only once in the tournament's 15-year existence.

MS Dhoni will surely be an important part of the CSK think-tank, and it would be intriguing to see how Ravindra Jadeja handles the captaincy.

Although Dhoni's batting performance goes down in previous few years, his decision to step down as captain comes as a surprise to the cricketing world, and he will be remembered as one of the IPL's finest captains.

Ravindra Jadeja responsibility has now increased a lot. Hopefully Ravindra Jadeja will also lead chennai super king like dhoni

This will be Jadeja's first assignment as captain, and it will be interesting to see if he can match Dhoni's influence on CSK.
