MS Dhoni has become the face of Chennai Super Kings. The legendary wicket-keeper batsman has led the franchise since the very first year in 2008 and has also led the team since the start. MS Dhoni is a talented wicket-keeper and smart skipper. He is one of the quickest wicket-keepers behind the stumps. Plus, he is also an advantage at the lower-middle order slot with his ability to hit long shots.

MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket last year and IPL is the only big platform where he can showcase his skills. Like the previous editions, the 39-year-old cricketer will again lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021 and he will be one player who will be part of every game.
