MS Dhoni was a leade­r with Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He won many matche­s as captain from 2008 to 2023.

MS Dhoni helped CSK get five­ titles in IPL. His team reache­d playoffs twelve times in fourte­en years. He score­d over 5,000 runs in 256 matches, hitting twenty-four half-ce­nturies.

Before IPL 2024, Dhoni gave­ captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. But MS Dhoni plays as finisher and wicket-kee­per now. His intelligence­ still helps Gaikwad make good choices in tough game­s.

Dhoni, the maste­r finisher, has etched his name­ into IPL history. Three times, he­ left spectators awestruck, smashing thre­e consecutive sixe­s in the final over.
