Suresh Raina congratulates Ravindra Jadeja on becoming CSK captain!

Dhoni has announced that he will hand over the captaincy of the CSK team to Jadeja. Suresh Raina has congratulated Jadeja on Twitter.

The IPL series has been running since 2008. As the captains of each team have been changing since the first series of the IPL, Dhoni has only been the captain of the CSK team. Now, Dhoni has now handed over the responsibility to Ravindra Jadeja.
