7 Reasons behind Chennai Super Kings' phenomenal success in IPL across seasons

7. The presence of Thala Dhoni the inspirational leader

Dhoni - The Inspirational leader

Dhoni is the face of CSK. The one reason why CSK commands a huge fan following all over the world is the presence of the one and only MS Dhoni in the team. Apart from being a successful IPL player for CSK, Dhoni has been the inspirational captain for them across all seasons. Dhoni and Suresh Raina have been the constant factor for CSK right from the inaugural season of IPL.

In CSK, Dhoni has nurtured so many youngsters like Ashwin, Jadeja, Mohit Sharma, Shardul Thakur, and Deepak Chahar. Even Raina’s career changed for good after his association with Dhoni’s CSK.

Dhoni, the inspirational leader, has been successful in bringing out the best from his players. Even some of the overseas players like Lungi Ngidi and Adam Zampa, while playing for RPS, benefited from Dhoni’s knowledge and experience. Dhoni knows how to handle experienced international players like Faf Du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo, and Shane Watson. On the field, Dhoni, as always, looks calm and composed in rotating his International bowlers to best effect.

As far as IPL 2019 is concerned, there are speculations going around that a lot of players will be skipping the IPL owing to the World Cup in England that immediately follows the IPL.

But CSK will have no such problems as they are assured of the presence of Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo, Murali Vijay, Harbhajan Singh, and Karn Sharma. Suresh Raina too might join that list. CSK fans would be hoping the list doesn’t get bigger in personality and longer in length.
