I think he is contractually bound to make a certain number of appearances. 

lol like they'll sue him if he doesn't

It must have been planned beforehand

 

That's why I was surprised they didnt buy back Faf. Could have been a good option

FWIW, these contracts are drawn up in such a way that payment is pro-rated to appearance and visibility during the IPL. He won't get a portion of his promised $ if he doesn't show up.

Dhoni as non captain. Can coach or cheerlead :dontknow:

Dhoni is :cool: even as an on field mentor. He could advise Jadeja real time and he is still a top level finisher.

 

He surely has at least one more season of IPL left in him.

Possibly they wanted an Indian captain. This is why paid Jadeja 15 crores.

 

The cricinfo article says that this was discussed last year itself. So possibly Jadeja was already selected and they let FAF go.

 

It just needs to be a certainty which Faf was. Else groom someone younger.

They tried, but Faf went for a high price..

In any case, they would prefer an Indian captain..

 

I get the feeling Jadeja is an interim option for a couple of years and then Gaikwad will become their long term captain.

Should not even be playing then. Will waste a spot.

 

With Deepak Chahar out,CSK is unlikely to make the playoffs,so maybe Dhoni saw the writing on the wall.

im expecting him to sit out few games as conway n uthappa can keep n even rayudu gave his name as keeper in auction. May be he ll see how jadeja handles the team, if he handles it well then he ll fade out slowly or else we might see him play more

if Dhoni was planning to give up the captaincy, then they should have retained Faf and made him the captain for interim until they find a a young indian player  (if they wanted indian captain).  it was kind a dumb to release him and not go for him in the auction. wasted all their money on thala.  csk mgmt being a fan boy of thala and sleep walking into the auction haveing secured thala is cringeworthy.. 

Jadeja is not a captaincy guy and he is best if he remains low key.. 

I see a disaster written all over for Jadeja and CSk this season..
