5 Greatest Chennai Super Kings Players Ever

#1 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni leads his side onto the field

Could it really have been anybody else? Mahendra Singh Dhoni is an adopted son of Chennai, he is as loved as any of the film superstars and has become a part of the fabric of the city.

For the first IPL, many sides had local heroes as marquee players. Mumbai had Sachin, Kolkata had Ganguly, Bangalore had Dravid, but Chennai had MS Dhoni.

He instantly absorbed himself into the local culture and developed his own culture around the team, one of consistency, grit, and success.

Under his leadership, CSK have been a threat in every single edition of the IPL. There have been countless instances when he has helped snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, and his side never gives up.

He has nearly 4000 runs at an average of 40 and strike-rate of 140 for CSK, but his impact has been so much more.

Chennai Super Kings is what it is today in large part thanks to MS Dhoni's contributions over the years.
