MS Dhoni became the first uncapped player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to lead a franchise after he was named the skipper of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), following Ruturaj Gaikwad’s hairline fracture on right elbow. Dhoni will lead CSK for the remainder of IPL 2025 after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the season.
Dhoni has led Chennai to five IPL titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023, but the franchise is struggling this season and has lost four of its five games. It will take on Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.
