MS Dhoni is the skipper for the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
One of the most iconic players in the history of the IPL, Dhoni is one of the few players who has played every single season to date. He was signed by CSK in the 2008 auction, and was the league’s most expensive player, less than a year after leading a young Indian side to glory at the inaugural T20 World Cup.

Nicknamed ‘Captain Cool’, Dhoni has been known throughout his career for his cool on-field demeanour, and sharp thinking under pressure. He has become synonymous with the brand of the Chennai Super Kings, also earning the nickname ‘Thala’ (leader) from their adoring fans. He also achieved legendary status among Indian fans after leading the Men in Blue to the World Cup trophy in 2011.
Under Dhoni, CSK qualified for the IPL playoffs in all of their first 10 seasons, winning the title two times. When the franchise was banned for two years in 2016 & 2017, he led Rising Pune Supergiant to the final. CSK won three more titles in 2018, 2021 and 2023 under his leadership and while there have talks over his retirement for years now, he continues to go strong even at the age of 42.
