Mahendra Singh Dhoni:
Matches: 14, Runs: 284
284 runs at an average of 40, strike-rate 135. displaying an exceptional heist by hitting 23 runs in the last over with 2 powerful sixes off the last 2 balls. Then why is he in this team? This is MS Dhoni we are speaking. A towering giant in IPL. He has, in fact, done it all. He has led Chennai Super Kings to 2 IPL titles and 2 Champions League titles. So when a team captained by Dhoni finishes second from the bottom, it’s for sure he didn’t live up to his expectations. Apart from the last league encounter, Dhoni looked totally clueless throughout the tournament. He looked lost in the wilderness without Chennai Super Kings. His struggle for existence was best displayed by a pathetic 8 off 22 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders.
