“Dhoni Drops More Surprises Than Life”- Twitter Reacts After MS Dhoni Quits CSK Captaincy

In a suprise announcement on Thursday, MS Dhoni handed over the CSK captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja. CSK released a statement on their website which said that Dhoni has opted not to continue as captain of the franchise and has chosen Jadeja to lead the side in the future. The statement further asserted that Dhoni will continue to represent the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2022 and beyond.

Earlier also there were few speculations that Ravindra Jadeja will be made the new captain but CSK sources had denied any such rumours.

Jadeja, who has been a key member of Chennai Super Kings since 2012, will be only the third player to lead the Men in Yellow. Dhoni led the franchise in 213 games while Suresh Raina captained the team in 6 matches. It should be noted that Jadeja was the most expensive retention (16 crores) of CSK ahead of the IPL 2022 mega-auctions.

Chennai Super Kings will play the IPL 2022 season opener on 26 March against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Here is how twitter reacted to MS Dhoni’s resignation:

MS Dhoni’s record as CSK Captain

Captain Cool had an amazing run as the skipper of Chennai Super Kings. Out of the 213 games he led in, CSK won 130. Win percentage of 61.55 is not something which many captains possess.

Under Dhoni’s leadership, Chennai reached the final in 9 out of the 12 seasons they have played. CSK won four IPL titles under Dhoni’s captaincy – in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. MSD also led the Super Kings to two Champions League (CLT20) titles- 2010 and 2014.
