He missed out on the plane to Australia to feature in the T20 World Cup 2022 because of a knee injury for which he got operated and is in his recovery period. 

Jadeja was named as the captain of the side last year just before the start of the league. But after CSK’s dry run in the first half of the competition, Dhoni took over and remained captain till the season end. Dhoni will captain CSK in IPL 2023 and is expected to bid good bye to the fans in his last season in Yellow Jersey.
