Why Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s CSK is special
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the biggest face of Chennai Super Kings. The CSK team made Dhoni the captain from the first season itself. Everything in the team revolves around him. Apart from Dhoni, the team’s coaching is also being handled by Stephen Fleming for a long time. In 2008, Dhoni’s team lost the final on the last ball, then lost the 2009 semi-final match. But, this team learned a lesson from the defeat. Then in the next two years this team won the IPL trophy. After this, he could not make it to the IPL playoffs for two years. The team was also banned for two years due to spot-fixing. Chennai made a tremendous comeback in 2018. Dhoni’s team was also trolled in 2018. The players of this team were even called Dad Army, but despite this the team won the title match for the third time this year. In 2020, CSK finished at number 7 out of 8 teams, this was CSK’s worst performance ever. In 2021, Dhoni & Co. returned again and won the IPL title. In the 14th season of IPL, Dhoni’s fans have again reached the finals. Now it will be interesting to see whether once again Dhoni’s team will be able to win the final title.
Mumbai Indians winning the most titles
The team of Mumbai Indians is going to win the most titles of IPL, which has so far won a total of 5 titles. Players like Sachin Tendulkar and Jayasuriya were included in this team in the initial season. In 2010, this team was the runner up team of IPL. In the year 2013, the command of the team was handed over to Rohit Sharma and on the basis of his strong performance, the team not only won all the matches played at Wankhede in Mumbai but also won the title. After winning the trophy, the team gave a grand farewell to Sachin Tendulkar. In 2015, Hardik Pandya was included in the team and due to the strong performance of the team, Mumbai Indians won the title again. After 2015, became champion in 2017, 2019, 2020.
