Generally speaking, a team is only as good as its captain. A team with experienced players like Chennai Super Kings not only needs a proficient captain but also a successful one. In that case, no one can match the success of MS Dhoni as a captain at this point in time.

Dhoni has been the captain of CSK since the inception of IPL. Not only that, but he has also taken them to the playoffs every season they have played.

CSK have won three IPL titles under him. Thus, it can be said that no other captain can handle the Chennai pitch as well as Dhoni.

Even though KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin played in Chennai for years and KKR captain Dinesh Karthik knows the pitch very well too, it is still Dhoni who has the most success in Chepauk stadium as an IPL captain. He knows what it takes to win matches here.

Also, having Dhoni in the team brings massive support from the fans. The balance of the side and the experience of the players helps them be less nervous and more focused to fulfill the expectations from all corners.
