Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has handed over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) back to Mahendra Singh Dhoni following a dismal run of form for the men in yellow in this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Indian all-rounder had been given the charge of the team as captain in this edition after Dhoni had decided to step down from the role ahead of the start of IPL 2022.

Jadeja reportedly handed the responsibilities back to Dhoni and requested him to take over to concentrate more on his game.

Dhoni has accepted to again take charge of the team in larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game.

Taking to Twitter, the official handle of CSK informed, “Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish the captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game. MS Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game.”

The team from Chennai are amidst a dismal season, sitting ninth in the IPL points table with just two wins from eight games.

CSK will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) next on Sunday in the second game of the day.
