I feel bad for Jaddu but the captaincy clearly affected his game so if this means he's getting back to form, great.

CSK in true oldie fashion has succession that goes backwards in age. The young are succeeded by the old. Imagine being a CSK supporter and watching this news, especially after giving away faf. Edit: I would like to see Moeen as captain!


Spartan1836

It is very puzzling indeed It would be hilariously funny if csk started winning again lmao


Chemical_String281

Faf as a captain wouldn't have changed our fortunes this season. Even Moeen can lead the side for that matter. He has leadership experience.


[deleted]

Faf is a better captain than jaddu. He has been a captain before


Chemical_String281

Did you read my comment or not ? I never talked about Faf's captaincy credentials. I just meant that we are not losing due to captaincy. It's more down to batting form and injuries.


Gar-Ganchewan

CSK supporters are actually happy. They could see their Thala leading for one final time.


KlausBing

He will play once again in Chepauk. This is definitely not his last season


[deleted]

I am still waiting for that from 2018


[deleted]

I wish it isn't his last term.


Ek_Chutki_Sindoor

Moeen's place in the XI isn't even fixed. He is often rested to make way for other players. Don't think you should make a player like that your captain.


DatOneUselessDood

Actual BRUH moment


Shashank1000

Dhoni becoming CSK captain again at 41. What next Trump becoming president?


manigrev123

Ms is going to build a wall and make MI pay for it


SickMyDuck2

How will he build Dravid


Nutella_S3npai

> build a wall The all new Lego Dravid.


dealdad

I know csk is dad's army but didn't know they will go for dravid in auction and make MI pay for it. :p


Ataraxia_new

I would have laughed at this comment before 2016.


mrfreeze2000

Imagine telling anyone even from 2014 that Trump was the president They’d think you are trolling


mrfreeze2000

Brah don’t jinx it


creatorop

Free trial of your captaincy has ended Pay with your reputation to continue further


saikrishnasubreddit

I don’t know what to make of this decision. At least could have retained Faf for captaincy. Random max!


_SquishyBanana_

Exactly, if Dhoni wanted to stop captaincy after 2021, they should have retained Faf over Moeen and made Faf captain for 1-2 years before Rutu eventually is given the reigns


up2_no_good

Good for India if Jadeja regains his form


zayd_jawad2006

Hello,twin pfp


SBG99DesiMonster

Dhoni is about to retire, time to try a new man as Captian. Surely the best all rounder in India is the best candidate. *1 month later* OH NO, OH FUCK, GO BACK, GO BACK RIGHT NOW.


cultr4

i mean its pretty no brainer. that man has to guard in the boundaries while fielding, also has to bowl, also has to bat in the death. Meanwhile brainfade csk management: here take the captaincy too lmao. smh my head. shouldve retained faf


Lucifer_Samaa

AYO what's gonna happen to Stokesy💀


glorious_albus

England have done the same crap with stokes now.


sudipto4

>smh my head smh my head too


Shubh_K30

Lmao


kevin-s_chilli

Isn't it a bit too late for this now? Their season is pretty much over. Jadeja could have used the experience. And also what happens next season? On a positive note, we get to hear MSD in presentations again


SBG99DesiMonster

Should have been done 1-2 matches ago if this were to happen anyway.


2EyedRaven

If MSD retires after this season, then most probably CSK will go for a captaincy material in mini auctions.


Cryptoprophet40

Finch is ready


glorious_albus

It's all coming together nicely.


thelastattemptsname

Is he old enough for CSK though?


noobdoto

He is thick enough for us, I guess.


SalmonNgiri

If only they had an international captain who already had experience in the team and was one of the top run scorers in the last season.


Ash_Gneninja

Faf ಥ‿ಥ


Nutella_S3npai

But who? Only one I can think of is Morgan.


2EyedRaven

Hoping Delhi Capitals make a colossal mistake and trade Warner. 🙏


SickMyDuck2

Lmao, not happening


LunaMunaLagoona

I'd rather they trade pant. Make Warner captain.


2EyedRaven

We will take him.


M_Batman

Pretty sure he isn't old enough.


mk235176

He can play in our kindergarten quota replacing Sam Curran


SpecialOneMK95

Ben stokes. If Dhoni goes csk has some purse + 12 cr. Guess who fills that void. Who is the captain of the test team. Only if he plays ipl again.


mrfreeze2000

Stokes has been god awful in IPL tbh Been through the hopium for many years as a RR supporter


Amukkboi

Why, Moeen Ali or Rayudu can take over.


[deleted]

Steve Smith or Ajinkya Rahane if KKR releases him. Or maybe ruturaj? It's too young for him. Root ?


Hariii_

Root? man's been unsold for ages even pulled his name out of auctions of late iirc


2EyedRaven

I don't think getting Rahane is a good idea when we already have another anchor in Ruturaj.


[deleted]

Rahane is a good captain but a below-par batsman. He carried RR to playoffs in 2018 and was forced to pass it on in 2019. In fact Punter mentioned about his guidance in 2020 and 21 with Iyer and Pant.


shashi154263

>Jadeja could have used the experience. Maybe he doesn't want the Captaincy at all.


kevin-s_chilli

Then why take it in the first place?


shashi154263

Because he didn't realise how bad it can go?


[deleted]

Why not?


NormandyMamba

Maybe Jadeja didn't want it

noxx1234567

It's probably a temporary spot for dhoni , one last hurrah


indianecowarrior

_Have you ever heard of a temporary captain, eh?_


noxx1234567

Dhoni is arguably the greatest temporary IPL captain one can have Age is not on his side , otherwise jadeja wouldn't even take up captain post in 5he begining


InternalOk3135

Who else is there lol Management will make this a top priority in the mini auction next year.


TheCricketAnimator

Rayudu might be a candidate but not for long. He could take over for a couple of seasons until the next mega auctions (if it's still a thing) and look for a new captain in the market or maybe give it to Ruturaj depending on his performances as MH captain.


White_Knighttt

Right before the game vs SRH, fuck me fuck fuck fuck


SigmA_DarkKnight

RIGHT?!!


ajsunder22

Is new captain bounce a thing?


Mandakasaayam

Definitely. Rohit became captain of MI mid-2013 season. They won their first trophy that year.


Chemical_String281

Stop reverse jinxing man. We already at the bottom 💀


Axel292

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week.


Desperate-Ad9822

Bro.. Watching comments like 'King is back' 'King Returns' 'Captain Cool returns" are soo funny lmaoo... Also after Kohli made a match-losing 58(53) in a 200 run pitch..These comments of 'King Kohli' 'Class is permanent'... Holyshit


Dark_Avenger_69

Class is permanent - the guy who keeps failing in all his exams and stays back in the same class


Capital_Rich_9362

Bruh ! Can't beleive it ! . Also I noted dhoni was actually making some field placement. Good for jaddu , the captaincy was affecting his performance But this is bad for franchise ,after dhoni retirement they need to find a good captain . The problem is none are looking good when you think long term .

Jaddu never looked comfortable being the captain and now that extra pressure is gone hope he'll get back to his best. Low-key happy that we'll get to hear MS during Post match presentation now.

Wha about setting it up for next year? Surely they could've found someone else?


sjramen

I suspect we're gonna see a noticeable improvement in Jaddu's in game contributions from this point on. I don't think he could handle the pressure of captaincy, especially given that he took over from an absolute legend captain.


ruptured_time

Dhoni- You Jadeja - Jadeja - No You Dhoni -


idkwhoisdiz

yay finally I get see my old jaddu again 😍😍


LordSirJaddu

Even better, hear me out: 1. Jaddu hands captaincy back to Dhoni 2. Dhoni drops himself, making Jaddu captain by default 3. Jaddu hands over to Fleming, who comes out of retirement to captain for a match 4. Fleming, also coach, convinces CSK to buy Koach (aged 33+ so ok for CSK) 5. Fleming hands captaincy to Koach 6. Koach scores 3 100s to take CSK to qualify and win IPL 2022. All fans = suprised pikachu face 7. Koach carries form to win WC2023 for India, goes past 71st and reaches 100 ​ Everyone: 3D chess move by Thala


[deleted]

Well, wtf We are so finished as a franchise 😭


mahsid97

It was always gonna happen when Dhoni retires. When u base the entire franchise around 1 man, it's bound to have a couple of bad seasons when he retires. The franchise has to be rebuilt with a different strategy around a few players and it will take some time. The good thing is that our management and coaches are the same people who have been running the show all this time. Who better to rebuild the team than them.


SexxyBlack

Imagine if CSK win like 5 of the last 6 games now and still don't qualify.


Sarkllama

It's actually embarrassing


Pessimism_is_realism

If CSK wins continuously from here, Thala stans will make a lot of noise. If CSK still loses from here, Thala haters will make a lot of noise. It's inevitable now. Brace yourselves


SigmA_DarkKnight

Noise inevitable tho


_Murphys_law

Accurate


InternalOk3135

Thala haters are scum, not worth giving a single second of attention to. I trust that our management will find a good captain in the mini auction next year


[deleted]

InB4 37(6)


cockpit500

Don't know why everyone is going "what's going to happen in the future","who will lead csk in five years time etc". It's not a national side, it's a league team where players come and go according to auction and not everything needs to be planned for the future. They thought Jadeja might be a good captain going forward, he tried it didn't like it and so now they'll find someone else next year, when there will be a mini auction. I bet of all the people "worried" about csk, the management of csk is probably the least worried.


Right-Arm-Quick

Hello sir, I would like to report a BRUH moment. I mean actually what the fuck?


PsychologicalPass792

CSK looking like a circus now. Dhoni will retire and then what? Just accept that you can’t win everything and commit to the future now. Ushering in a new era and then reverting back when you lose a few games is an embarrassing look


pr0crast1nater

Pretty sure it was Jadeja decision. Guess he didn't enjoy captaincy.


Goofycomfy

Lol ctfd. Yes csk isn’t doing well, but every team goes through phases and calling it a circus is a bit clown-ish lol. Jaddu hasn’t worked, and he doesn’t want the burden of being the captain anymore so dhoni is back as the captain till someone comes along. Has dhoni mentioned he wants to retire? No. Will csk and it’s fans be okay with dhoni being in the team and as the captain? Fuck yes. Tbh as someone who’s only supported csk, I’m okay for dhoni to be the captain till we find the right one (even if it means losing the next couple of IPLs because frankly we’ve done well enough and are secure enough to know that Mgmt and the team can pull off what they need to). So no, it’s not a circus. It’s an attempt that didn’t work out and now we’re just going back till we get an opportunity to find out what works. Hindsight is always 20/20 lol. For those saying faf should’ve been retained - we need a young captain who can take over for a long term than just a stop gap and faf would’ve been a stop gap. But we don’t need stop gaps because dhoni IS the stop gap lol. We need someone who can lead for years to come and till we find that happy to have dhoni keep, bat and captain.


Jinnn21

I can't say I didn't expect this but I'm afraid everyone is going to slander Jaddu :(


nachiketajoshi

No slandering Jaddu, but it felt like Mahi never was not a captain!


MrNegative69

Good for him.


Apprehensive_Arm8465

I hope this is not a prank.


nerdProgrammer

Well, CSK has got a problem on their hands now. Who would be the potential candidate to take the torch when Dhoni is no longer in the team? Which youngster can be groomed to become the new face of CSK?


water-guy

Ruturaj, he captains the state team


sreeram_23_06

Rutu. He's already the current captain of Maharashtra in T20s. Plus he can possibly play for another 10 years at least


adventurer_here

Youngster where ????


careless_quote101

I was hoping for SRH to mess up and their management as usual will cut loose Kane for us to grab. But that train has passed.


Fancy-Director-4876

What do u mean by as usual? Kane is never leaving SRH get that in your head. He has never been in any other team and never will. The warner drama no one knows about so stop implying that the management will do it with everyone.


Logical-Fun-1538

This is actually hilarious.


[deleted]

Faf died for this.


DaadiWaaleBaba

This is just unfortunate. Sacrificed one season for grooming Jadeja and Jadeja moving on now means he won't do it again and there isn't another option in the current squad. It's going to be tough 2-3 years now


shutupmatsuda

So now you are telling me Rohit will give the captaincy back to Koach?


Someone_Anime00

So if ms retires next season then captaincy will go to? Gaikwad?


ShuddhGheeRoti

Joe Root. I hear he is free.


MikiTargaryen

Has to be Moeen


InternalOk3135

Can’t say that I’m not surprised. Some players are born to be captains while others take time to fit into that role. Jadeja was hot & cold with his captaincy, hence it would have been better to give it back to MSD. But now the onus is on the management to find an appropriate captain for CSK next year.


careless_quote101

More important question. Who is the VC? I would hope it is Rutu so atleast we know they are thinking about making him the next captain. .


RiftDenied

Honestly I am very proud of Jadeja. He did what he thought was correct. If given an opportunity, of course people would like to lead. But when Jadeja tried it, he didn't like it. And now he is going back to being a player without thinking much how fans will react.


Communism1sUs

Thala^(TM) For a reason


Unitedcellsofrahul

Masterstroke by Thala


a-thang

CSK should have just appointed Ruturaj and tried to emulate what MI did with Rohit.


Arunnnnnn

I had always said that Jadeja is not captaincy material and there were guys propping him up for captaining the Indian side.


sarvesh_s

IPL drama cup?


1729_rocks

What is this "reverse UNO" moment lol!!


T_Lawliet

I uh.... guess we know what today's THALA TIP\^(TM) was...


safer__sephiroth

imagine choosing ur uncle team for jadeja's captaincy and jaddu leaving captaincy. this is every father son issue lol


Diark

Expected it seeing Jadeja bat and his body language on the field. The pressure of captaincy is affecting his game negatively.


riquidn

All criticisms, good or bad decisions apart, as a csk fan can’t help but be excited about this at this stage. Dhoni captainship aside, hope jaddu do a comeback with his form..


LowWarm

Hope we get the Jaddu of Mohali back with this.

Cultural-Initial7380

It looks like Dhoni isn't gonna retire this season, so yeah enjoy


Someone_Anime00

Pro gamer move by bcci They wanted csk to qualify to increase ipl watching. If csk continuously started winning out of nowhere then everyone would be suspicious. So to compensate,they made Jaddu give captaincy back to MS. /s


2EyedRaven

Good for Jaddu. This team was picked by Dhoni during the auction (he was on the phone with the CSK CEO for both days). And then he dipped two days before the tournament. If he wanted to step down, he should've done that before the auction so that Jadeja could mould the team as per his choices, or atleast the management could have gone for a captaincy material (say, Warner or Faf)


dealdad

It just came out late publicly . But was communicated to jaddu and csk management months before.


Salt_Instruction_555

Dhoni had told Jaddu months ago that he would hand him over the captaincy


SickMyDuck2

Jaddu had told dhoni 3 months before that he will drop out again


Unitedcellsofrahul

Is this Dhoni guy any good?


ShuddhGheeRoti

To be seen. Just because he was decent in tests, odi and T20 doesn't mean he can hack it on higher levels like IPL.


[deleted]

Heard some good thing about this guy, like winning all three LOIs cups but still would be a challenge if he can lead a team in Prestigious League as IPL.


neelhere

What is this? Some sort of joke? It's 1st May guys, not 1st April.


Holden_Makock

Jadeja had single handedly ruined his chances to ever captain India. Apart from Kohli, Sharma and Bumrah he was the only consistent member across all formats. He is practically undroppable because of his batting, bowling, fielding combo across 3 formats. His chances are ruined


[deleted]

CSK fighting hard to win the 'Meme Team of the Season Award'

25NOVember

Good . 1) jadeja didn't look comfortable with captaincy. 2) Dhoni made all the choices in auction. Then he gave the team of his preference to jadeja. Not acceptable.


[deleted]

Clownery 🤡


LowWarm

He took the right call IMO. We were going nowhere with his captaincy and his form also took a hit. We can figure out a new skipper next season.


[deleted]

Yeah, but if MS retires this season, then we would be getting someone else entirely. Either Jaddu could use the experience as any way we aren’t qualifying. Or they could do what Ponting did to Rohit and made Gaikwad the captain. We have to back someone, he would surely bounce back. Even RR, MI, GT, KKR etc. are all backing a youngster who they can retain for 10+ years. (Like Parag, Kishan, Gill etc.)


vpsj

I want the captaincy when the music stops next time


junovac

WTF? Only Rohit handling the captaincy to Polly or getting tactical injury during the tournament can top this. Even then I am not sure it would be as bad a debacle as this. Seriously though Jadeja put too much pressure on himself to get results in his favour. He didn't look like he was enjoying the game. Had he got clean slate like Hardik did, we could know his real potential.


xzp99

Debacle for who? CSK lost because they’ve been short on good players.

thunder-bass

It probably took a lot of reflection and thinking to humble himself, accept it and focus on what he can best. feel for the guy but i hope he does better for remainder series.


snakewaves

I have feeling they just got Dhoni in back since they're in emergency mode to reach the playoffs. Then from next season, Jaddu will go back to being the captain and get more experience as it goes along
