Former England captain Kevin Pietersen believes that Ravindra Jadeja is quite cool-headed and he will make good decisions as he has been named the Chennai Super Kings captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. However, Pietersen was not surprised by the veteran MS Dhoni’s decision to hand over the Chennai captaincy to Jadeja and added that he is an outstanding thinker and a very experienced T20 player too, so CSK have a good chance of surprising others all over again.

“They’ve obviously decided that the time is right to move on from MS Dhoni, but it doesn’t surprise me that they have turned to Ravi Jadeja another cool head who will make good decisions. Jadeja is an outstanding thinker and a very experienced T20 player, so CSK have a good chance of surprising everybody again,” Kevin Pietersen wrote for Betway.

Chennai Super Kings has also said in their statement that MS Dhoni will continue to represent the franchise this season and beyond as well. However, Dhoni continued to play in the IPL after announcing his international retirement and his decision to hand over the CSK leadership to Jadeja was not surprising too as well.

“CSK proved everybody wrong last season, including myself. There is some young blood coming through there, but they seem to have realised that having cool, experienced heads making decisions is going to give them an edge over everybody else. There are so many small decisions to make during a T20 match and if you get more right than the opposition, then you will generally win,” Kevin Pietersen concluded.
