3 Main Reasons Why MS Dhoni is back as Captain of CSK?
Reason 1: Promoters were very unhappy with Ravindra Jadeja’s performance as captain. “He looked lethargic, subdued & unimaginative. He was not his usual confident self while leading the team,” said the source close to the PROMOTERS.
Reason 2: CSK Position in Points Table: CSK is currently lying 9th in Points Table. The team still has a chance to Qualify for playoffs provided they win all their matches. Management felt they can’t afford any risks with Jadeja & decided to give back the captaincy band to Dhoni.
Reason 3: Jadeja’s Own Personal Form: Jadeja too has struggled for form. He has scored just 112 runs at an average of 22.40. While bowling he has picked just 5 wickets in eight games conceding runs at 8.19 an over.

Jadeja’s brief captaincy stint – Jadeja’s poor captaincy rein was met with high criticism as the defending champions looked like a shadow of their own. With just four points collected all season, the reins were quickly passed back to Dhoni as he will resume the duties again to ease the pressure on Jadeja. In 8 matches Jadeja managed to scalp five wickets and score 112 runs, a poor return from his usual standards.
