MS Dhoni has a constant presence in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team as the skipper and thanks to his side’s brilliant performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years, the veteran holds an impressive captaincy record in the tournament. <o:p></o:p>

However, things will be a bit different in the 2022 season as Dhoni stepped down from captaincy and handed over the baton to Ravindra Jadeja. Dhoni will continue to play for the franchise, but he will not be leading the side this season.

While 82 matches ended up defeat for the Chennai Super Kings, one match did not yield any result.<o:p></o:p>

When it comes to trophies, Dhoni has won the IPL title four times with CSK – the second highest after Rohit Sharma who has won five as the Mumbai Indians skipper. <o:p></o:p>

CSK were runners-up thrice with the latest one being 2020 when the team came close to winning the title but were beaten by MI in the final. Dhoni has also won the Champions League T20 title twice in 2010 and 2014.

It was not about opening the batting," said Shubman during a media interaction as quoted by PTI.
