Top 5 run-getters for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL history

#2. MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni has almost become synonymous with the CSK franchise.

You talk of the Chennai Super Kings and the first name that comes to mind is that of the iconic MS Dhoni. Dhoni has become the undisputed sporting ‘Thala’ of the city with his ability to inspire his troops and get the best out of them.

And with the bat too, he has been pivotal for his side. He has played 143 innings for CSK and scored 3858 runs at an incredible average of 44.34. The skipper has also scored as many as 21 fifties for the franchise. Dhoni’s ability to keep his cool and steer his side past the finish line sets him apart from the rest. Out of the many epic knocks that Dhoni has played throughout his IPL career, he will be best remembered for the 84* off just 48 balls he smashed against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2019 edition.

The legendary Indian batsman had his most prolific year for CSK in the year 2013 when he scored 461 runs at an average of 41.91 and he scored his runs in 2013 at an incredible strike rate of 162.90.
