CSK’s performance was excellent under Mahi’s captaincy
The performance of Chennai Super Kings under the captaincy of MS Dhoni was excellent. Under the leadership of Dhoni, CSK won the IPL trophy five times. Dhoni has been captaining the team since 2008. In the year 2022, CSK handed over the command of the team to Ravindra Jadeja just before the start of the season. However, the team’s performance under Jadeja’s captaincy was disappointing and Dhoni was re-appointed captain in the middle of the season.
