The World Cup-winning captain for India in 2007, MS Dhoni saw a change in his fortunes after a memorable win for the men in blue in the Rainbow Nation.

However, IPL 2008 was a stepping stone in his career as he joined Chennai Super Kings and captained them to the Finals of the tournament. Dhoni was the most expensive player bought in the IPL after CSK made a bid of US $1.5 million.
The franchise got their money’s worth as they achieved glory twice in next four years. The 26-year old led from the front with 414 runs with a strike rate of 133 in the entire season. His exploits as a finisher and the ability to win cliff-hangers for CSK saw him stamp his authority in the World cricket.
