MS Dhoni becomes 1st captain to win 100 games for one franchise in IPL

MS Dhoni had already created history when he stepped out on the playing field for some competitive cricket after 436 days. When he took the catch of Kieron Pollard off Lungi Ngidi, he became the first wicketkeeper to effect 250 dismissals in Twenty20 cricket. However, when Chennai Super Kings registered a five-wicket win against Mumbai Indians in Abu Dhabi, Dhoni reached a different pedestal altogether. The win against Rohit Sharma’s side was Dhoni’s 100th win for Chennai Super Kings as captain.

MS Dhoni is the only captain in the history of the IPL to win 100 games for one franchise. He has won five games for Rising Pune Supergiant when he was there in the side for 2016 and 2017. Under Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings have reached the play-offs in every edition that they have featured and he has also won three IPL trophies, second only to the Mumbai Indians.
