MS Dhoni started his IPL career with the Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural 2008 season for India’s T20 World Cup-winning captain at a staggering price of USD 1.5 million, which was around Rs 6 crore at the time. Since then, Dhoni has made his way into the record books due to several remarkable feats. The former Indian skipper already holds the record for the most capped player in IPL history with 237 caps, out of which he has captained on 213 occasions. Apart from CSK, Dhoni has also led Pune Supergiants in 2016.
MSD will lead the four-time IPL winners against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.
Out of 199 matches so far, Captain Cool has tasted success in 120 matches, while only 78 have been lost and the remaining matches could not decide the winner.
