CSK had only one full-time captain the one and only Mahendra Singh Dhoni. MSD lead successfully CSK to 4 IPL titles and 2 Champions League T20 titles over the years. Dhoni stepped down as the captain of the CSK team on Thursday 24th of March. Like many of the Dhoni moments, it was a complete surprise to everyone.

Jadeja will succeed him as the captain of the franchise. This move will be tested as we move into the tournament as we speak. Jadeja doesn’t have any major captaincy experience. However, as the man, MSD himself proved to the world that experience in captaincy doesn’t necessarily define a person’s ability to lead the team.
