MS Dhoni returned as Chennai Super Kings captain for the first time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 in the 46th match of the season at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday. Dhoni confirmed that Dwayne Bravo was not fit for the SunRisers Hyderabad game and made way for the New Zealand opener Devon Conway.
"You will definitely see me in the yellow jersey [next year], whether this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey, that's a different thing," Dhoni said after Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to field ahead of the crunch contest.
"The kind of
catches we have dropped are not the ones you can practise. With the ball, we don't want to bowl big overs, 18 runs is okay but not 24-25 runs. We have a couple of changes: Bravo is not fit, and Shivam is out. Conway and Simarjeet Singh come in," Dhoni added.
CSK are off to a poor start to the season under Jadeja, winning just two of their eight games so far and are on the brink of missing out on a playoff spot. Jadeja, too, has struggled to perform with both bat and ball, scoring just 112 runs at an average of 22.40 and also taking just five wickets in eight games and conceding runs at 8.19 an over in the IPL 2022.
