New Delhi. In the Indian Premier League 2025, the process of defeat of Chennai Super Kings is not ending. The team once again came out to play under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni against Kolkata Knight Riders. Regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad was injured and was again made the captain of the team after he was out of the tournament. Although the fate of the team could not change even this, but in the tournament, a new record was definitely done.
MS Dhoni has registered his name in history. The legend, who made Chennai the IPL champion 5 times, took the command of the team for the third time. He captained the franchise from 2008 to 2021. In 2022, he entrusted the responsibility of captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja, but after removing Jadeja in the middle of the season, Dhoni again took command. Dhoni captained CSK by the end of the 2023 season and handed over the captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad before the 2024 season.
Dhoni has increased his record as the oldest captain in the history of the league. After the age of 42, he became the first player to captain the team. Dhoni, Gilchrist and Shane Warne have captained the IPL team after the age of 41, while Rahul Dravid also captained the team in the 40s.
Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in the history of IPL. Along with Rohit Sharma, he has jointly given the title to the team. CSK won the title in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023. In IPL history, no player has captained more matches than Dhoni nor has anyone won more matches than them. He has brought the team to the IPL final nine times, which is the highest for any player.
