Defending champions Chennai have lost all their three matches so far in the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 15).
Mumbai, Ravindra Jadeja has started feeling the pressure associated with this position early in his captaincy stint but he is happy that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been on hand to support him in helping him tide over the pressure situations. Like a calm player in the team of Chennai Super Kings. Defending champions Chennai have lost all their three matches so far in the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 15).
Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Jadeja before the IPL started on March 26, but his role still plays an important role in on-field decisions. This is the reason why Jadeja, one of the best fielders in the world, goes near the boundary line to field. In the match against Lucknow Super Giants, it seemed that Dhoni was deciding in the last overs. He was the one who handed Shivam Dubey the 19th over.
Jadeja told reporters after his team’s 54-run defeat against Punjab Kings on Sunday, “No, that match (against Lucknow) was a big-scoring and could turn into an opportunity to take a catch at deep midwicket. And so we felt that our good fielder should be there.” “So I was not in a position to communicate much with the bowlers,” he said.

Jadeja said, “Mahi bhai gives suggestions which is good. He has a lot of experience and we don’t need to look to anyone else for advice. He is a legend and has been captaining for so many years. This kind of experience is only there in our team, so we are lucky to get their advice.”
Jadeja’s captaincy stint had a disappointing start but he said he was mentally ready to lead the team when he was told about the new role. The all-rounder said, “I was told a few months back and since then I was ready to captain. I was mentally ready to lead. There was no pressure on me.”
Chennai suffered their third straight loss but Jadeja is confident that a win will turn things around for the four-time champions. “It takes only one match to get the momentum in T20 and after that the winning momentum is created,” he said. (agency)
