In 2008, MS Dhoni was chosen as the captain to lead CSK and he remains at the top of affairs till now. But surprisingly, Dhoni wasn't the first choice captain for the franchise, but it was former India opener Virender Sehwag.
Former India cricketer MS Dhoni has been with the Chennai Super Kings ever since its inception in 2008 and he will once again lead the CSK in the upcoming IPL 2022. The wicketkeeper-batsman has led the franchise to 4 IPL title wins so far and he is also the captain with most number of wins in IPL.
However, Dhoni wasn’t the first choice to lead for CSK, instead, the franchise wanted Virender Sehwag.
Former CSK batsman S Badrinath had made some bold claims about the franchise from the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
