The CSK skipper made these remarks after his team opened its account on Tuesday with a 23-run win over RCB
Having notched up his first win as captain of Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, said he is still learning in his role and it will take some time "to get things going".
After four successive losses, CSK finally opened their account on Tuesday with a 23-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore.
"First of all, this is the first victory as a captain ever. I would like to dedicate to my wife because first victory is always special," Jadeja said in the post-match presentation after CSK restricted RCB to 193 for 9 while chasing an imposing 217 to win.
"Previous four games, we couldn't cross the line. But as a team, we came good. As a captain, I am still picking brains of the senior players. Mahi bhai is there, I always go to him and discuss.
"Moulding into a new role, it'll take time to get things going. I am still learning and trying to get better with each game."
Jadeja said the team didn't panic despite losing four successive matches.
"Our management don't put pressure on me, they are relaxed, they always come to me and motivate. We have plenty of experience in our dressing room.
