MS Dhoni’s achievement of playing nine IPL finals
The former Indian World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni is highly successful in IPL history too. The wicket-keeper batsman Dhoni is holding the record of playing most IPL finals as he has played nine IPL finals – eight times as a captain for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and once as a non-captain for the Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS).
Suresh Raina is in the second position in this list as he has played eight IPL finals, all for the CSK as a non-captain. Even if we consider that the CSK are playing the IPL 2020 final and Dhoni is somehow missing this final but Raina is appearing in this final, then Raina will only manage to equal the record of Dhoni to play most IPL finals, which is nine times.
