Five reasons why Chennai Super Kings can be the champions of IPL 2018

5) The leadership of MS Dhoni

A major reason

of

CSK's success has been the leadership of MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni is a veteran when it comes to two things - finishing and captaincy. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest captains of all time. He is the only captain in the long history of the game, who has won the big three - World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions trophy.

He often puts up blistering knocks that include massive sixes hit into the crowd courtesy of his brutal strength and plays a captain's innings each time his team needs him. He is a master at rotating the strike and controlling the pace of the game.

The positioning of fielders in order to save multiple runs and excellent vision/foresight are crucial elements of his captaincy. The Chennai team as a whole and especially the bowlers have benefited a lot under his captaincy.

He could be the key element for CSK as they march on towards the final.
