MS Dhoni could have handed the Chennai Super Kings captaincy baton over to Ravindra Jadeja, however he nonetheless appears to be calling the photographs for the staff. In the match in opposition to the Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, TV cameras confirmed Dhoni shuffling the fielding place even when Ravindra Jadeja was current on the bottom. Reacting to the event, former Indian batter Ajay Jadeja lashed out at Dhoni for controlling the choices for CSK and stated that it could have badly affected the arrogance of the newly appointed skipper.
Ajay Jadeja added that it was Dhoni’s determination to step down because the captain and if he had determined to stop, he ought to have given Ravindra Jadeja extra freedom to be taught. “Leave aside taking someone forward, you have taken the person backwards. The confidence of that person (Ravindra Jadeja) has taken a big dent. He was not there in the play itself, not at the beginning and nor in the end,” the 51-year-old was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
Jadeja stated that had it been a do or die match for CSK, Dhoni’s decision to take the reins in control would still be understandable but there was no need to do something like this in only the second game in the tournament. “MS Dhoni is a big name, I do not like saying such things but we are here talking about the game, so I have no doubts in my mind, what I saw today, I did not like,” Jadeja concluded.
