N Srinivasan explains why CSK persist with MS Dhoni: Consistency and loyalty oozes out of us

MS Dhoni has been leading CSK since the very beginning in 2008 and has become a cult figure in Chennai due to his success in the Indian Premier League.

Chennai Super Kings owner N Srinivasan on Friday opened up about the special relationship that he and his franchise shares with captain MS Dhoni and explained why they have stuck with the former India cricketer even though he retired from international cricket and is well past his prime. Dhoni has been leading CSK since the very beginning in 2008 and has become a cult figure in Chennai due to his success in the Indian Premier League. He has won 3 IPL titles and 2 Champions League T20 trophies with them till date. Mumbai Indians' skipper Rohit Sharma may have overtaken Dhoni by winning the IPL 5 times but the veteran wicketkeeper still holds the record for the most victories in the tournament.
