The remark was in keeping with his strategy of not interfering in cricket decisions and letting skipper MS Dhoni complete control after taking over from Ravindra Jadeja. Chennai Super Kings manager N Srinivasan stated before that he doesn’t ask how they won, and he has no reason to ask them why they lost, to a friend when questioned about the team’s string of losses in IPL 2022.
Ravindra Jadeja seem okay to step out
With Ravindra Jadeja in control, he appeared to signal that his stance had not altered, but franchise sources claim that the new leadership transition is not a mutual agreement, with the former expressing a desire to focus on his game and the latter eager to step in. Kasi Viswanathan, the franchise’s CEO, stated that the decision was made on Saturday evening. This has been communicated to them by the team management, and they have accepted, says the player.
It wasn’t as straightforward as that sentence suggests. While some of this may be true, the management did not want to remain silent as the defending four-time winners lost game after game. There are significant signs that Jadeja was pushed to do something. Discussions of reinstalling Dhoni as the captain began somewhere in the last three days. The main source of concern was Jadeja’s poor performance, not his poor leadership.

The poor form by Ravindra Jadeja this season
The management cannot remain mute while the world’s best all-rounder fails to deliver. He is obviously weighed down by the responsibilities of captaincy According to a source close to CSK, for the record, Jadeja, who has been a consistent performer for the club in the past, has only 112 runs and five wickets (average 42, 8.19 economy rate) in eight games this season. The source remarked, He even started dropping receptions.
CSK under Ravindra Jadeja lacked passion
CSK is presently in ninth place, having won two of their eight games. Theoretically, they are still in contention for a playoff berth, and franchise management believes that with Dhoni back in control, a turnaround will be quite easy.
It’s no secret that Dhoni has complete control over CSK’s operations, and it was only at his request that Srinivasan agreed to the captaincy swap only days before the season began. Now it appears that Dhoni will be able to turn the team’s fortunes around. The board will go with the captain’s decision, Srinivasan told the media when approached. He wouldn’t say if he’ll be with the outgoing or incoming captain.
