He brings immense experience to the team in allowing the young players to flourish at the league level. One of the main reasons for CSK's success in IPL is MSD's captaincy.
Dhoni is just eleven wins away from registering 100 wins as captain for Chennai. If he does that in the upcoming season, Dhoni will become the first captain to register this special feat.
He has missed only three matches for CSK in his entire tenure as Suresh Raina led the team in those matches. Dhoni is the second captain to win three IPL trophies after Rohit Sharma who has captained Mumbai Indians to three trophies in 2013, 2015 and 2017.
If CSK manage to win the upcoming season MS will become the first captain to win IPL trophy for the fourth time.
