Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni (Source: BCCI/IPL)
In what comes as big news, MS Dhoni shall lead Chennai once again. Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus on his game. It is to be noted that the legendary keeper-batter had stepped down as Chennai's captain just a few days before the start of the Indian T20 league 2022.

He had decided to hand over the leadership responsibilities to the all-rounder. However, Jadeja didn't really have a great time as Chennai's captain. Under his leadership, the four-time champions were only able to win two out of their first eight games of this edition. Thus, they are currently languishing at the ninth spot on the points table. Moreover, Jadeja has been below-par in the ongoing edition so far.
He hasn't been effective with either the bat or the ball. The Chennai-based franchise took to social media to release a statement which stated that Dhoni has accepted to lead the yellow army once again. As a matter of fact, the statement also mentioned that Jadeja had requested the legend to lead Chennai again.
"Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game and has requested MS Dhoni to lead Chennai. MS Dhoni has accepted to lead Chennai in the larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game," read Chennai's statement. As far as Dhoni's captaincy in the cash-rich league is concerned, it wouldn't be an overstatement to call him one of the greatest leaders in the history of the league.

Jadeja was handed over the captaincy at last minute. He had apparently no say in picking up the #CSK squad. Now as the team failed, he has decided to hand it back to MS Dhoni, purely because of being under pressure. Bizarre!

MS Dhoni what a leader. Went against his nature and took back CSK captaincy just for the greater good of CSK.
