MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the costliest player bought at the first IPL auction in 2008 for $1.5 million. He was immediately named the captain of Chennai Super Kings. From then on, Dhoni has been the adopted son of Chennai. The growth of Dhoni and CSK has always been an inseperable story.

Astute captaincy, hard-hitting batting and sharp wicket-keeping are some of the reasons which define why MS Dhoni has developed into a legendary player. With each passing year, his number of followers is expanding tremendously.

Dhoni has won every major tournament formulated by the ICC. He is one of the main reasons why Super Kings are the most successful franchise of the IPL. He has also been the most successful skipper for India. The significance of any sport lies in the emotions which ignite in the hearts of sports fans.
