Ms. Dhoni will take over as CSK captain for the rest of 2025 for the rest of 2025 due to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s elbow fracture, forcing him to quit the game.
Legendary Indian goalkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is often hailed as one of the most successful captains in Indian Premier League history. He led the Chennai Super Kings to an incredible five wins and also put his team into runner-up five times – an achievement that no other captain in the league can match. This extraordinary record has firmly established Dhoni as a true idol of cricket.
Even during the now-extinct Rising Pune Supergiants, Dhoni demonstrated his leadership by coaching the team to the finals. He won the CSK championship in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023, while also approaching in 2008, 2012, 2012, 2013, 2015 and mid-2019. Known for his calmness and his method of collecting, Dhoni also directed the Indian cricket team to the Indian cricket team, winning two World Cups in two World Cups – 2007 T20 T20 t20 t20 t20 t20 in South Africa and the 2011 World Cup championship in 2011. In addition to his roles in CSK and the national team, he also served as the rising Pune Super Giants.
Dhoni has played over 5,000 runs, hit more than 200 six points, and maintained the record for the most games in the game and scored a layoff in this lucrative league.
Doni was recalled to lead the team when then-captain Ravindra Jadeja left mid-season after resigning from his captain at the beginning of the 2022 season. His return helped CSK win his fifth IPL title in 2023, and he officially handed over to the captain in 2024. RuturajGaikwad took over as the new captain, but Dhoni found herself re-entering the leadership position in 2025 due to the damage to Gaikwad.
