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.
