Spoon-feeding doesn’t always help: Dhoni on Jadeja quitting CSK’s captaincy

Ravindra Jadeja
Jadeja, who was appointed CSK’s captain ahead of the IPL 2022, recently stepped down from the role. MS Dhoni reclaimed his CSK captaincy.
Jadeja’s record
Jadeja managed to win just 2 out of his 8 games as CSK’s captain.
‘Jadeja got enough time to prepare’
“Between me and Jadeja, he knew last season itself that he will be given a chance to captain this year. He knew and got enough time to prepare, what is important is you want him to lead the side and I wanted that transition to happen,” said Dhoni.
‘You have to take responsibility for decisions’
“In the first 2 games there was information going in towards Jaddu and after that, I left it to him to decide which angle to bowl and all that. But you don't want him to feel as if the captaincy was done by someone else and I'm just going for the toss. Spoon-feeding doesn't really help captain, on the field you have to take those crucial decisions and you have to take responsibility for those decisions,” added Dhoni.
CSK vs SRH
CSK defeated SRH by 13 runs in the IPL 2022 on Sunday. While Jadeja scored a run-a-ball 1, he gave away just 15 runs in the 3 overs he bowled, even though he did not make a breakthrough.
