MS Dhoni is one of the greatest captains to have ever played in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has hung up his boots as a captain for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Under his leadership, CSK reached the playoffs on a record 11 occasions. Ravindra Jadeja will don the skipper's role in IPL 2022. Here, we decode Dhoni's captaincy numbers in IPL.
