MS Dhoni was an instant success in the inaugural IPL when he scored 414 runs. Since then, he has been the real identity of IPL. He is also the best wicket-keeper in the world and the most successful IPL captain. Under his leadership, CSK has won the IPL trophy thrice and the Champions League once.

At the autumn of his career, one could witness Dhoni approaching the IPL with a cool and composed state of mind without any fear of losing.

Dhoni is undoubtedly the Captain and wicket-keeper of this team.

Dwayne Bravo is the flamboyant Caribbean all-rounder who adds a lot of value addition to the IPL entertainment. He is the first player in the world to take 400 wickets in T20s. He is also the game-changer at the death, both with the bat and the ball.

He has won many a match for CSK by either smashing a couple of boundaries in the last over or by taking a handful of wickets at the death. With 32 wickets, Bravo was the purple cap winner for CSK in IPL 2013. He repeated that feat again in 2015 with 24 wickets.

Dwayne Bravo is IPL’s all-time No. 1 all-rounder.
