A statement from Super Kings said Jadeja wanted to resign in order to "focus more on his game" The statement said: "Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game and has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK. "MS Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest and to allow Jadeja to focus on his game." ESPNcricinfo has learnt that the question of whether or not the pressure of captaincy was having an impact on Jadeja, his performances have been in review for the past few weeks. Jadeja was involved in discussions on the matter with the team management, along with the head coach Stephen Fleming and Dhoni. Eventually, Jadeja decided that it would be better for him - and the team - for him to step down. It is learnt that N Srinivasan, Super Kings' owner, was also consulted before the franchise made the announcement. As to why the franchise went back to Dhoni, it is understood that the team management decided he was still the best person to lead, and there was no credible option.
