CSK Captain 2022
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has been an integral part of CSK since 2012 will now lead the Chennai Super Kings. Jadeja will become the only third player to lead CSK. While Dhoni’s stepping down from CSK captaincy is being termed as the end of an era, experts have welcomed the move as it will enable a smooth transition from old to new and give Jadeja the opportunity to work under the guidance of one of the best captains ever, MS Dhoni while he is still playing for the team.
