“MS Dhoni has decided to hand over the leadership of Chennai Super Kings and picked Ravindra Jadeja to lead the team. Jadeja, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will only be the third player to lead CSK. Dhoni will continue to represent Chennai Super Kings this season and beyond,” said CSK in their statement.
In terms of IPL titles, Dhoni ranks second in the list having led the Chennai franchise to four title wins, their latest coming in 2021.
CSK first won the IPL in 2010 under Dhoni, and successfully defended it in 2011. Only Mumbai Indians (MI) have more IPL trophies in history of the tournament (5).
In the years when CSK were suspended due to the IPL spot-fixing scandal, Dhoni had led Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016 and 2017, and led CSK to their third title in 2018, their first year since return.
