A rocky transition for CSK

With MS Dhoni Still Calling The Shots In A Team Led By Ravindra Jadeja, Things Haven't Quite Gone To Plan For The Four-Time Champions

Can you please tell us who the captain is? You stand at the deep and the field gets mince words and had Ravindra Jadeja on the wrong foot for a moment. Chennai Super Kings, under Jadeja, had just lost their third IPL match in a row — a new low in the history of the franchise — and it wasn't unjustified to ask why things were going wrong so far for the defending champions. While Jadeja had to face the uncomfortable questions off the field, it was quite clear that he wasn't the actual leader of the team on it.

Other than going in for the toss, Jadeja, on the field, hasn't had much role as the skipper and the journalist was right in pointing out that every field, or bowling change was being handled by Dhoni. The TV cameras closed in too as coach Stephen Fleming, during one of the breaks, was doing all the discussion with Dhoni as Jadeja seemed like a bystander.
