The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Thursday took their fans by surprise by appointing Ravindra Jadeja as the captain in place of MS Dhoni ahead of the upcoming IPL 2022 and their former teammate Suresh Raina was thrilled to see the Team India all-rounder take over the reins of the franchise but failed to wish the outgoing skipper.
Raina took to Twitter to congratulate Jadeja on the appointment.
“Absolutely thrilled for my brother. I can't think of anyone better to take over the reins of a franchise we both had grown up in. All the best @imjadeja. It's an exciting phase and I'm sure you will live up to all the expectations and love #yellow #csk #WhistlePodu,” Raina tweeted.
But what came as a surprise to the CSK fans was that there was no mention of Dhoni, who led the IPL side in the last 14 editions, winning four titles.
“No mention of thala,” one fan tweeted. While many citing Dhoni as the reason for Raina going unsold in the IPL 2022 mega auction.
