However, CSK have not done well under Jadeja's leadership so far

Jadeja led the side in 8 matches in IPL 2022 out of which CSK has won only 2 games.

Jadeja's own game has also suffered due to the pressure that comes with leadership responsibility as he has scored only 112 runs and taken five wickets in the eight games so far. 

Dhoni will lead take charge of the team in remaining 6 games, and CSK need to win all six to increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
