MS Dhoni back as Chennai Super Kings captain, Ravindra Jadeja relinquishes role

MS Dhoni is back as the captain of Chennai Super Kings after Ravindra Jadeja relinquished the role to focus more on his game.

CSK announced it in a tweet. Jadeja had taken the role of Chennai Super Kings captain just two days ahead of the start of this year's IPL season.



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

Jadeja's own game has also suffered due to the pressure that comes with leadership responsibility as he has scored only 112 runs and taken five wickets in the eight games so far.
