IPL 2020: Chennai Super Kings – How The Side Has Fared Over The Years
One of the best captains and batsman, Dhoni is still better than many. Even at 39, he is one of the fittest cricketers around, and no one challenge his supremacy still. But it all boils down to his will, whether he would want to continue playing IPL after 2021. Having announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020, many had expected his hang his boots in the 2020 season, but he promised to come back. Now it remains to be seen whether Dhoni continues to play or not. Having said that, after a dismal campaign last year, Dhoni must be itching to leave a mark now, and lift the trophy once again, first time after 2018. As far as his record in the league is concerned, he has played 204 matches and scored 4632 runs at an average of 40.99.
Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most prolific sides in the IPL. Led by MS Dhoni, they have been very consistent with their selection as well as their style of play.
