MS Dhoni has returned as the Chennai Super Kings captain and he is currently leading the team during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Dhoni has returned as the CSK captain after Ravindra Jadeja has stepped down from the position before the encounter. Jadeja was named the captain after Dhoni stepped down before the start of the IPL 2022 but the team have had a rather forgettable start. They could manage only two wins so far and place at the ninth spot in the points table too with just four points from eight matches. While his captaincy came under the scanner, his form with the bat too has been going through a rough patch. And, this could be the reason for the captaincy pressure too.
However, with Dhoni’s return, it is expected that he will lead the side for the rest of the season as well. “You will definitely see me in the yellow jersey [next year], whether this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey, that’s a different thing. The kind of catches we have dropped are not the ones you can practise. With the ball, we don’t want to bowl big overs, 18 runs are okay but not 24-25 runs,” MS Dhoni said during the toss ahead of the match against SRH.
Meanwhile, in their ongoing match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, CSK brought two changes as New Zealand international Devon Conway and Simarjeet Singh replaced Dwayne Bravo and Shivam Dube in the playing XI as well. However, it will be interesting to see how MS Dhoni’s captaincy will help them bounce back. “We have a couple of changes: Bravo is not fit, Shivam is out. Conway and Simarjeet Singh come in,” MS Dhoni concluded.
