He led the team for the next eight seasons. Under his captaincy, CSK became the only team to have played in all playoffs, and the team reached the final six out of eight times. It won both the IPL and Champions League T20 twice.
CSK will definitely go to any lengths to ensure that it retains Dhoni next year.
