On Thursday, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had announced that he would step down as captain of Chennai. Now the multi-talented Ravindra Jadeja is in charge of Chennai Super Kings. Before this decision of Dhoni, all the veterans of the country and the world express their reaction. For his part, S Badrinath, a former Team India and CSK player, has spoken about it. Badrinath believes that Dhoni has made this decision so that Ravindra Jadeja has enough time to prepare as a captain. Dhoni will try to teach Jadeja as many things as possible in this IPL.
Former cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath feels that MS Dhoni has made a wise decision in handing over the leadership of Chennai Super Kings to Ravindra Jadeja as the charismatic captain will still play matches and has the all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to prepare and make decisions on the pitch. He will have time to help. Badrinath feels that Mahi is no longer at the peak of his career, considering handing over the captaincy a better decision. Badrinath said: “There must have been some planning going into what MS Dhoni does and he must have thought about it for the last year or so. The announcement just came in, but it may have already been planned. Jadeja is still in her last year. There are players and they are playing in all formats. I am sure he will do well and Dhoni is also on the pitch so it will be beneficial for the all-rounder.”
Cricketer-turned-commentator Badrinath said: “It’s a natural progression, every cricketer has to go through that and we all know MS Dhoni is not at the peak of his career. So it was going to happen at some point or another. “. . Maybe. This is his last season.” He further said, “It’s better, because MS will be there and can prepare a captain. It would have been a bit difficult for Jadeja when he wasn’t there and Jadeja was left alone on the pitch.” The former cricketer said: “Dhoni’s legacy is definitely big for CSK. He has led the team to four titles, which has been one of the biggest influences on the franchise. I’m sure he will probably join CSK. As a player, maybe “as a mentor for many more years.” The Tamil Nadu cricketer is also very impressed with Jadeja’s progress as a batsman, saying that he will now become a 4D cricketer.
