Barring the seasons of 2016 and 2017, he has been the regular captain of CSK. However, in 2022, the franchise made Ravindra Jadeja the captain of the team. But Jadeja resigned after captaining the half season. After which Dhoni again took over the reins of the team. Even in the 16th season of IPL, MS Dhoni will be seen captaining CSK.

For the last three years, each and every run of Dhoni is costing CSK dearly. CSK can’t fit him safely anywhere now.

Dhoni’s IPL career

There is no doubt that MS Dhoni is one of the most successful batsmen of IPL. He has scored 4978 runs in 206 innings of 234 matches of IPL. After scoring 22 runs in the 16th season, Dhoni will join the select few IPL batsmen who have scored 5,000 or more runs in the league. He has scored 24 half-centuries in IPL so far. His highest score in the Indian Premier League is 84 not out. This is probably the last IPL for MS Dhoni. In such a situation, he would like to win another trophy for his team.
