IPL 2018: 3 reasons why the Chennai Super Kings will win the IPL

#1 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni is one of cricket's greatest tactical minds

Every team needs a good leader. The Chennai Super Kings have one of India's greatest ever captains in MS Dhoni. Dhoni led Chennai to back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011 and took India to a fantastic World Cup win in 2011. He is without a doubt the most experienced captain in the competition.

The importance of having a good captain cannot be overstated, it is the captain who increases team chemistry and is responsible for all on-field tactics - from bowling changes to field placement. Dhoni is one of cricket's greatest tactical minds.

In addition to this, Dhoni's ability with the bat and with the gloves makes him a very attractive player. An explosive middle-order batsman, Dhoni is capable of taking the game away from the opposition in the space of a few overs.

Moreover, his glovework is unparalleled and he is one of the safest pair of hands in world cricket. Thus, with Dhoni leading this team of experienced international stars, it is hard to think of a side that can stop Chennai.
