IPL 2023: Ranking top 10 captains
Among skippers, some looked confident while a few failed to deliver desired results to their teams.
1. MS Dhoni {CSK} - 9.5/10
MS Dhoni proved his mettle in IPL 2023 with his outstanding captainship. Under his guidance, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won their fifth title and became the joint-most successful IPL franchise, along with Mumbai Indians (MI). In the entire tournament, Dhoni’s tactics indicated that he is thinking about the future of CSK.
During the competition, the 41-year-old came under fierce criticism for batting down the order, but CSK’s bowling coach, Dwayne Bravo, defended him and said that Dhoni wants to give other players more responsibility. As a batter, Dhoni couldn’t do much for Super Kings, but as a wicketkeeper and captain, the legendary player delivered standout performances.
Confronting the powerful GT side in the final game at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Dhoni’s responsibility was to utilize his experience and skills to conquer the opponents. With the bat, he got dismissed on a duck but earlier, in the first innings, he hunted the crucial wicket of GT’s explosive batter, Shubman Gill, behind the wickets and displayed alacrity.
