MUMBAI: Ravindra Jadeja's home association - the Saurashtra Cricket Association, on Thursday congratulated the India all-rounder for becoming the captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Jadeja has replaced the legendary MS Dhoni as the CSK captain for IPL 15, which will begin in Mumbai on Saturday night.
"The SCA heartily congratulates Saurashtra’s superhero Jadeja on becoming the skipper of CSK in IPL-2022. From being the Saurashtra skipper in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy Under 19 tournament and the Cooch Behar Trophy Under-19 tournament in 2005-06, to becoming the skipper of CSK in IPL-2022, the successful journey of Jadeja continues. At present, he is ranked the No 1 all-rounder by the ICC in the Test format. Ravindra has continued showing remarkable performances in all formats of the game. He has represented Saurashtra in 44 Ranji Trophy matches so far, hitting 8 centuries including three triple tons and two double tons, and has captured 188 wickets including 16 five-wicket hauls in an innings, and five 10-wicket hauls in the match," the SCA said in a statement.
