5 reasons why Chennai Super Kings can win the IPL this year
One of the IPL's most successful team the Chennai Super Kings are back in the IPL after an absence of two years. CSK have enjoyed a 100 percent track record of making it to the playoffs of every IPL they played also having won the IPL and Champions league T20 twice.
While they enjoy a brilliant track record in the IPL, but this is almost a new start for the franchise. Before the mega auctions the franchise, owners gave an indication that they will come back strong as ever by retaining the likes of M.S. Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Ravindra Jadeja. And the owners didn't disappoint their fans as they splashed the cash during the auctions and gathered a team that looks formidable.
Here we look at the five reasons that could be the key if CSK wins the IPL in 2018:
#1 Captain Dhoni is Back
This name needs no introduction. The man with a midas touch, captain cool M.S. Dhoni is back as the captain of CSK and fans can't wait to see India's most successful captain in the captaincy role once again. Be it ICC World T20, ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, the IPL Trophy or the Champions League Twenty20, M.S. Dhoni has won all possible trophies that a captain can win and this tells the story of how successful he has been as a captain.
In a tournament as big as IPL, a captain's role is very crucial and in the past 10 years, only a handful of captains have been able to win this prized trophy. All the captains who have won the IPL in the past have been experienced campaigners and there's no one better than M.S. Dhoni at that.
Dhoni has captained CSK for 8 years and he knows what it takes to win the trophy, using his old formula of retaining the core group of players and building a team around them Dhoni looks all set to lead the Super Kings to another IPL Trophy this year.
