Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Viswanathan says that the decision was not taken suddenly by Dhoni. He had been planning on this for some time now. He told a sports website, "Dhoni gave his decision in the team meeting held after the practice session. He had been thinking about this long ago. According to Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja is ready to take over the captaincy and is also in his best form to shoulder this responsibility. Dhoni always goes according to the plans. He could have captained for another year if he wanted to, but he felt it would be right for a future captain to lead from this season."
