#1 Chennai Super Kings - Mahendra Singh Dhoni
IPL season 11 saw the team from Chennai lifting the IPL for a record 3rd time. While Ambati Rayudu, Shane Watson, and Dwayne Bravo played some match-winning performance, it was Mahendra Singh Dhoni who was the X-factor in CSK reaching the finals and winning the tournament.

In the 16 matches that MS played in IPL 2018, he scored 455 runs at a humongous strike rate of 150. This stint with the bat combined with the shrewd tactics in the field was one of the important factors in CSK's success.
CSK will be looking at its captain to once again to lead the way with the bat win some crunch matches like he has done many times with the bat.
