When MS Dhoni walked out for the toss ahead of the CSK vs SRH match, Danny commentator Danny Morrison could not help but ask, “I gotta ask as I did two years ago, are we going to see you back in yellow next year as well?”
MS Dhoni responded in his quirky style, “Well I said last time also, you will definitely see me in the yellow jersey. Whether it is this yellow jersey or some other, you will have to wait and watch.”

Dhoni returns as CSK captain: CSK’s reliance on MS Dhoni has been well-documented and the change in captaincy only lasted just 8 matches. Ravindra Jadeja was forced out after a lacklustre start. CSK lost 6 out of eight matches that he captained in as the defending champions left tottering at 9th place on the points table.
MS Dhoni Is An Emotion! 💛
Thala is back to lead @ChennaiIPL once again!

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 in the CSK Camp.
- 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.
IPL 2022: Dhoni’s RETURN as captain also raises questions
- Who will be CSK’s next captain?
- Will Dhoni stay as captain for another year?
- Was it right to throw Ravindra Jadeja under the bus?
With Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu and Dwayne Bravo all in their late thirties, Chennai Super Kings do not have options on the table. That also means until the next auction, which is expected to be a mini-auction, CSK will have to go hard after a potential captaincy material and he must have Dhoni’s approval.
As for MS Dhoni’s future, InsideSport earlier learnt that Thala would take up a mentorship role at CSK after handing over the reins to Ravindra Jadeja. But it is unlikely that Ravindra Jadeja will ever be the captain of any team again. That leaves CSK with only one option — MS Dhoni to continue for at least another year.
