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.&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.
