MS Dhoni steps down from CSK captaincy ahead of IPL 2022 opener

Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni has shocked cricketing fans across the globe with a massive decision just two days before the Indian Premier League kicks off.

The 40-year-old announced that he is stepping down from the captaincy role and Ravindra Jadeja will now captain Chennai Super Kings for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.

Apparently, the CSK captain announced his decision earlier today during a team meeting. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has revealed that the decision is hardly a surprise for him because he had already spoken to MS Dhoni regarding the same in the past.
