MS Dhoni

2013 was just like any other year for Chennai Super Kings as they entered the tournament's final for the fourth consecutive year and their journey to the final was a smooth ride as they finished the league stage at the top of the points table and lost just 5 matches in the process. One of the players who were responsible for this outcome was their captain, MS Dhoni.

He played the role of anchoring the innings from the middle order and always came in handy against the fast bowlers. He hit a total of 25 sixes throughout the course of the tournament, 5 of which came at the finals against Mumbai Indians. They lost the match at the end, but Dhoni's determination and presence kept them in the race throughout the match.
