MS Dhoni holds the CSK bunch together

MS Dhoni's IPL career is a pure masterclass. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has accumulated a total of 4016 runs in the 175 matches he has played.

Mahi also has a blistering strike rate of 138.19 in the IPL as well as a handsome average of 40.16. The classy finisher has played multiple match-winning knocks and also led Chennai Super Kings to three IPL trophies as well as two Champions League T20 titles.

A fan-favourite, Mahi is 7th on the list of all-time highest run-getters in the IPL and has smacked 275 fours and 186 sixes in the coveted T20 tournament.

The Ranchi-born player has been in good batting form in the recent past. After playing a few crucial knocks during India's tour of New Zealand, MSD is proving his mettle against Australia at home. He hit an important 59 off 72 in the first ODI against the Aussies on March 2, 2019.

The batting powerhouse has proved his worth time and again. Besides possessing phenomenal leadership skills, Dhoni's ability to read situations and different players - almost to perfection at times - makes him an invaluable resource.
