IPL: Top 3 most successful captains against CSK in history

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the most successful side in the Indian Premier League (IPL), along with Mumbai Indians (MI). In 16 years of the cash-rich league, MS Dhoni has held the reins of the side most of the time but in 2022, Ravindra Jadeja got the captaincy mantle and led the team in eight games. 

Chennai’s record is formidable as they are the side with the highest victory percentage of 58.22, among the teams that have been active in the league since 2008. Noting Super Kings’ sensational performance, it can be said that it’s never been easy for captains from opposite sides to help their teams get the better of the Men in Yellow. Talking more, let’s know the three most effective skippers against CSK.

Here are the three most successful captains against CSK:

3. Adam Gilchrist

Former Australia skipper Adam Gilchrist captained Deccan Chargers and Punjab Kings (PBKS) during his six-year IPL career. Leading against CSK, he has won six off 10 games. In Chargers’ jersey, he was seen as a skipper for seven games against the Yellow Army and guided his team to victory four times.

From 2011-13, he served PBKS and under his leadership, the team got two wins against CSK off three contests. His victory percentage as a captain is 60% against CSK which makes him the joint-second-most successful skipper against the five-time champions.
