Harbhajan Singh feels that MS Dhoni is still the captain of Chennai

Chennai haven't been at their best in the Indian T20 league 2022 so far. Having lost their first three games, they are still searching for their first win of this edition. Ravindra Jadeja hasn't really had a great start to his captaincy stint.

Several experts and fans have gone on to criticize his credibility as a leader as well. A lot is to be done if the defending champions are to bounce back in the 2022 edition. It is to be noted that MS Dhoni had stepped down as Chennai's barely a few days before the commencement of the Indian T20 league 2022.

However, Harbhajan Singh felt the keeper-batter still continues to lead the side. He felt that Jadeja needs to step up as a leader, and take on more responsibilities. While speaking on Star Sports, Singh drew light on how the all-rounder is adding more pressure on Dhoni.

“I feel that MS Dhoni is still captain of the team. When I look at Jadeja, he is fielding outside the ring. By doing that you won’t be able to control too many things but he has given a headache to MS Dhoni to look after the field setting and everything. He is shedding some of his own weight and putting it on Dhoni’s shoulders that ‘look after the field setting’,” said Harbhajan Singh.

However, the "Turbanator" also praised Jadeja, and felt that he was a very "confident guy". Singh spoke about his skills as an all-rounder. He urged Jadeja to stand up. Thus, it will be exciting to see if Chennai get back to winning ways anytime soon.

“But I think that overall Jadeja is a very confident guy when it comes to batting and bowling and his skillsets are unbelievable. To get the best out of the team when it is not performing is rare, and he needs to stand up and talk about a few things,” he added. Chennai's next match is scheduled to take place on April 9, and they will be facing Hyderabad, who have been struggling of late as well.
