CSK Most Successful Franchise In The History Of IPL
Notably, CSK are among the most successful side with five titles to their name along with Mumbai Indians (MI). However, it is pertinent to note that the Men in Yellow did not two play in two editions of the competition which means the same number of wins in two fewer editions.
Even though Dhoni has handed over the IPL captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad, the rule of an Indian player not having played an international match in the last five years being treated as an uncapped player, has allowed him to remain associated with the team for 4 crore.
