IPL 2019: 5 players who have played the most matches for a single team

#3 - Mahendra Singh Dhoni - Chennai Super Kings - 145 Matches

Mahendra Singh Dhoni shares an emotional connect with Chennai

There are many identities for Mahendra Singh Dhoni that have been bestowed upon him over the years. But one thing that he has enjoyed a lot is being the captain of Chennai Super Kings. Right from the day when CSK pipped all franchises to bag him, his association with the South Indian city has been on a rising trend.

Under his captaincy, CSK not only qualified for the knock-outs of every season, as he also led them to three IPL titles and two CLT20 titles. He has played many memorable knocks over the years and has often helped his team get out of tricky situations.

His association was so strong that when CSK was reinstated in 2018, he came back into the team without a second thought. Fondly called as "Thala", Dhoni is the only middle order batsman to feature in the top-10 run-getters list.
