IPL: List of Players who have captained IPL franchises

#1 Chennai Super Kings

Captain Dhoni has been the cornerstone to CSK's Success

Captains: Mahendra Singh Dhoni - 2008 - 2018

Suresh Raina - 2010

If there is one team that has dominated in the IPL, then it is Chennai Super Kings. If there is one player who has been a cornerstone then it is captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Barring three matches in 2010, Dhoni has led CSK in every game they have played in the IPL.

It was his captaincy that helped CSK win their first title in 2010. Throughout the tournament, Ashwin bowled his full quota of four overs in the first 10 overs. But in the finals, he bowled only three and he came back to bowl the fourth when third season's emerging player Saurabh Tiwary came into bat. He holed out to midwicket as Dhoni placed team's best fielder Raina who responded with a moment of brilliance.

And when Kieron Pollard was threatening to take the game away, it was his field Placings that took CSK to their title. A decade later it was Dhoni again who led CSK to their third title in 2018.
