IPL: Best XI that can defeat defending champions Gujarat Titans

6. MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings)

After the 15 editions of the IPL, MS Dhoni has emerged as the best skipper with 123 victories in 210 matches. With his phenomenal leadership skills, the iconic player has handed four trophies to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Talking about his fitness level, the former India skipper leaves many young cricketers behind with his agility.

In the upcoming IPL edition, he will be seen leading CSK yet again. Speaking on his batting, the legendary cricketer is known for being a stylish match-finisher. Relying on his power-hitting ability, Dhoni has helped CSK to cross the line several times. So far, he has accumulated 4,978 runs in 234 IPL matches at an impressive strike rate of 135.20.

As a wicket-keeper too, Dhoni’s records are impressive as he is the most successful in the business with 170 dismissals (131 catches and 39 stumpings). In 2016-17, the veteran also played for Rising Pune Supergiants in the absence of Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Noticing his achievements, it becomes imperative to assign him the skipper's role of the IPL Best XI.
