"Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game and has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK," the franchise said in an official statement. "MS Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game," the statement further read.

Ravindra Jadeja's starting phase as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 has been far from being a smooth affair. Since taking over the mantle from the great MS Dhoni, the spin allrounder has guided the four-time champions to only two wins in seven games. CSK are currently at the ninth spot in the 10-team points table. However, one of Jadeja's IPL teammates believes that the player has it in him to captain the Indian cricket team in future.
Former India batter Aakash Chopra has said that Chennai Super Kings skipper Ravindra Jadeja's struggles in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 has a lot to do with the pressure of captaincy. Jadeja, who replaced MS Dhoni as captain of CSK ahead of the start of the ongoing season, has managed to score just 91 runs in seven matches so far. With the ball, he has taken only five wickets in seven games. Speaking ahead of CSK's match against Punjab Kings on Monday, Chopra expressed his concerns regarding Jadeja's form with the bat, adding that the franchise needs the star all-rounder to regain his magic touch.
