Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the most successful captain in the history of IPL. In 2008, CSK bought MS Dhoni for Rs 6 crore. At that time, MS Dhoni was the most expensive player in the history of IPL and CSK also made MS Dhoni the captain of the team.
MS Dhoni has captained 226 matches and won 133 matches. His team lost 91 matches and 2 matches were inconclusive. This also includes matches of Rising Pune Super Giant. Talking about Chennai Super Kings, he has captained 212 matches and won 128 matches. Dhoni has won the IPL trophy 5 times as the captain of Chennai Super Kings. Along with Rohit Sharma, Dhoni is also the captain who has won the most number of trophies.
Chennai Super Kings is also the most successful team in the history of IPL, which has won the IPL trophy 5 times in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Along with this, they have been runner up many times. If you see, CSK is the most successful team in the history of IPL under the captaincy of MS Dhoni.
Good news for MS Dhoni’s fans and bad news is that Dhoni’s fans and cricket fans want to know whether MS Dhoni will play in IPL next year or not and the good news is that there are chances of him playing, at least it seems that both Dhoni and CSK want him to play in IPL next year but the bad news is that the way CSK was thinking of making him play, but now that way will not work, there was a meeting on 31st July 2024 with BCCI IPL and franchise owners and in that meeting Chennai Super Kings took a proposal,that proposal was that if a player has retired for 5 years or more and has not played international cricket, then that player should be put in the uncapped category so that we can make him play and he will not have to be paid much money.
You should bring back the uncapped rule in IPL, although this rule was abolished from IPL a long time ago, but the owners of other teams understood it. Why are you saying this? They refused to implement this rule and said that if you are looking for a way to make MS Dhoni play through this uncapped way, then it will be a disrespect to MS Dhoni. Now it remains to be seen whether the other franchises and the BCCI will accept this rule, we will know in the coming days.
Chances are that MS Dhoni will play under the rule of uncapped player. MS Dhoni is very special for Chennai Super Kings because he has done a lot for the Chennai Super Kings team and has worked very hard to make the CSK franchise a successful team. The team would definitely want to play such a player.
There are still many months left and the auction is also coming so nothing can be said right now. It seems that MS Dhoni will play as an uncapped player.
