The five most successful IPL captains by win percentage

#4. MS Dhoni - 58.33%

MS Dhoni is arguably India's most successful captain of all-time

Fan favourite MS Dhoni is surprisingly low on this list. The Chennai Super Kings stalwart, who played for the Rising Pune Supergiant during CSK's suspension, has captained the most matches in the history of the IPL.

Dhoni has captained on an incredible 144 occasions, with Gautam Gambhir second on that list after being captain in 123 matches. This pays testament to Dhoni's ability as a captain and his cricketing brain. He has enjoyed success as a captain as well, as he took Chennai to back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011.

Dhoni has won 84 out of the 144 matches he has captained, giving him a handy win percentage of 58.33%. That is the second highest out of players currently captaining in this year's IPL. A rather fun fact is that Dhoni has won the toss 72 times as captain, which is exactly 50% of the time.
