†MS Dhoni has decided to hand over the leadership of Chennai Super Kings and has chosen Ravindra Jadeja to lead the team. Jadeja, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will be only the third player to lead CSK. Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings this season and beyond,” said CSK.
Notably, Ravindra Jadeja has become only the third Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain after the legendary MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina, who was released by the franchise ahead of the 2022 Indian Premier League mega-sale.
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni is arguably the most successful captain in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. As captain, Dhoni has played 204 games and won 121 games and had a win percentage of 59.60.
Under his leadership, Chennai Super Kings also won 4 Indian Premier League championships and Dhoni is also a two-time Champions League T20 winning captain. Fans on Twitter were stunned after Dhoni decided to hand over the captaincy to Jadeja and it is definitely the end of an era for fans of Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni.
Here’s how Twitter responded to MS Dhoni handing over custody to Ravindra Jadeja:
Thala you will always be our Captain cool @msdhoni† Leader and inspiration forever!!
Over to Jadeja to lead @ChennaiIPL #Dhoni #MSDhoni #WhistlePodu

Clear signs of things to come. Dhoni hands over the captaincy to Jadeja. Passing on the baton but also of a journey that was filled with ups and downs. Good luck @imjadeja as you lead @ChennaiIPL† Going to be very interesting in how CSK now uses MS the keeper, batsman

MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli as non-captains… I don’t know this league anymore.#IPL2022
— Rohit Sankar (@imRohit_SN) March 24, 2022
Now that Dhoni is stepping down as captain… Hopefully that magic he does on CSK will end… It will be so interesting to see how they will play, of course not even Dhoni will be captain but still everything will go through be done to him.

This must be a face… watch @imjadeja run away before the toss is @ChennaiIPL colors and not @msdhoni … but then the change would happen this or next year #CSK𓃬 #IPL2022 #Dhoni #jadeja

This is the funeral of cricket for me personally. Ms Dhoni will no longer be CSK’s captain. I can’t digest this.

From 2008 to 2021…
CSK was the only team with only 1 captain.

CSK has officially posted about:
MS Dhoni has handed over the CSK captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja ahead of IPL 2022.— Mr. Critic 2️⃣.0️⃣🎭 (@ChiragA45) March 24, 2022
Truly the end of an era. No Kohli, no Dhoni for captain.
This also means that this could very well be the last season Dhoni plays.

Don’t think anyone but MSD can do any good with the bowling attack we have lol.
— Manya (@CSKian716) March 24, 2022
So Jadeja and Hardik will probably be the only captains in the ten teams to have at least one delivery #IPL2022†
PS: Unless the biggest T20 leggie, Faf du Plessis, who has two consecutive five-fors, bowls again 😬
— Rohit Sankar (@imRohit_SN) March 24, 2022
It will be so weird not to see Dhoni and Kohli running away from CSK vs RCB toss. Used to be a salutary moment.
