The magic of Dhoni’s captaincy in IPL
MS Dhoni is one of the most successful captains of IPL. Under his leadership, CSK has won the IPL trophy 5 times. Dhoni captained a total of 235 matches and won 136. His calm mind, taking decisions at the right time, excellent fielding setup and preparing young players by giving them opportunities have been the biggest strengths of his captaincy. Fans see Dhoni not just as a batsman or wicketkeeper, but as a leader.
CSK will get big strength
10 teams will participate in IPL 2026 and a total of 84 matches will be played. If Dhoni plays, his experience will prove to be a huge advantage for the team. Dhoni can work his magic especially in finishing and pressure matches. This time the captaincy of the team will be in the hands of young Rituraj Gaikwad, but the presence of Dhoni will increase both the confidence and balance of the team.
CSK has not been able to win the title after 2023. Fans hope that with Dhoni’s return the team will be successful in winning the sixth trophy. Stadium once again in IPL 2026 "Dhoni…Dhoni…" Can resonate with slogans.
