The Chennai Super Kings have the smallest list to show when it comes to those who have led them in the IPL. The “Yellow Army” has been led by only MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina: the renowned Thala and Chinna Thala. With Raina pulling out of IPL, CSK has to look after another back-up captaincy option.

Their crazy IPL success needs no description and what else would one expect when Mahendra Singh Dhoni is at the helm of things? MS has captained the team in a whopping 174 matches and has won 104 whereas lost 69.

The candidates who can lead the side in the boss’ absence could be many: Shane Watson, Harbhajan Singh, and Faf du Plessis. Watson has led few matches in IPL and so has Bhajji. Du Plessis has led his national team though he has no experience of captaincy in the IPL. The most suitable choice for CSK, however, should be Watson because of his experience in captaining various teams across the world.
