Mahendra Singh Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the most successful players in the Indian Premier League history. It was after his team won the ICC T20 World Cup 2007 in South Africa that the BCCI began this tournament in India, and in the last 12 years, IPL has become the most popular domestic cricket tournament. Dhoni is the most capped player in IPL history.
He has played for two franchises namely the Rising Pune Supergiant and the Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni has made it to the playoffs in ten seasons with CSK, highlighting how much successful he has been as a captain and a player. The fans and critics believe that half of the team’s work is done at the auction table and if you impress Mahendra Singh Dhoni, there is a high chance that you would earn a contract from CSK in the auction.
In this article, we will look at the five current Chennai Super Kings players who have dismissed MS Dhoni in IPL.
1.Shane Watson
Chennai Super Kings’ star overseas player Shane Watson got back to form with an excellent performance against the Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2020. He is a former two-time IPL Most Valuable Player of the Season award winner.
Before playing for CSK, Watson was an integral part of the Rajasthan Royals. During the IPL 2010 fixture between CSK and RR, Watson dismissed Dhoni for a golden duck that too at Chepauk!
2.Ravindra Jadeja
One of the main reasons behind Ravindra Jadeja’s success on the cricket field has been the way MS Dhoni has backed him over the years. Before joining CSK, Jadeja was a part of the Kochi Tuskers Kerala team. When KTK battled CSK, Jaddu dismissed the opposition captain caught behind at the score of 9.
Six years later, Jadeja picked up Dhoni’s wicket again during a match between RPS and GL. This time, he dismissed him LBW at the SCA Stadium.
3.Imran Tahir
Imran Tahir played a massive role in the Chennai Super Kings’ journey to the final in IPL 2019. The right-arm leggie had won the Purple Cap award.
Two years before joining CSK, Tahir was a part of Delhi and he dismissed Dhoni during a match against CSK. Sam Billings had taken Dhoni’s catch. Later, both Tahir and Billings joined CSK.
4.Harbhajan Singh
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have had quite the rivalry in the Indian Premier League. One man who has been an important part of this rivalry is Harbhajan Singh.
The former MI skipper is a part of CSK now, but he will not play IPL 2020. During an IPL 2015 game between MI and CSK, Harbhajan trapped Dhoni in front of the stumps on the very first ball that Dhoni faced.
5.Piyush Chawla
Chennai Super Kings spent a huge amount of money to sign Piyush Chawla in IPL 2020 Auction. He was a part of KKR and KXIP before joining CSK in the IPL.
