The captain of IPL’s most consistent team, MS Dhoni has been the backbone of Chennai Super Kings since day one. The Jharkhand-based player has guided the team to three IPL championships with his wit and might. He has been phenomenal as a captain, unearthing talents like Ravichandran Ashwin, Joginder Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Deepak Chahar among many others.

Also, he can step up and do the job for the team when the top guns do not fire. Dhoni has single-handedly changed the fate of CSK’s matches with his big-hitting abilities. The 38-year-old batsman has scored 4,432 runs in the 190 IPL matches he has taken part in.

The former Indian skipper has registered 23 fifties in the tournament. Besides, he holds the Indian record for slamming the most sixes in the IPL. No other Indian batsman has hit over 200 sixes in the league while Dhoni is leading the charts with 209 sixes. He was at his destructive best in 2018 where the veteran had banged 30 maximums.

It will be interesting to see if he can better his record of 30 sixes in the upcoming season of the cash-rich league.
