IPL 2023: “No Other Captain in India Has Won More Trophies Than MS Dhoni; He Is Born to Win Trophies”- Virender Sehwag

IPL 2023: The final of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League was washed out on Sunday as the rain played spoilsports. Thus, the final match went to reserve day. Now, both the Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will lock horns on Monday at the Narendra Modi Stadium. This is a great opportunity for MS Dhoni to add another feather to his hat. He can lead CSK to their record fifth IPL title to level the Mumbai Indians.

However, it is the 10th appearance for the four-time champions in the IPL final out of the 14 seasons they have played. It is the most times that a team has qualified for the final in the IPL’s history. Ahead of the season, CSK had a number of issues, but Dhoni managed his resources pretty well, and now they are looking to get their hands on the trophy.

CSK has already beaten the defending champion in Qualifier 1, and they have everything they need to repeat the same performance in the final of the tournament. MS Dhoni is probably the best captain that India has produced. Not just at international level, his captaincy record is incredible in the IPL as well. He is the only captain to lead a side to ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy. Then he led CSK to four titles.

This season as well, he has done a tremendous job. But it will be interesting to see whether he will make any changes to the playing XI on Monday against GT. It will be a contest between CSK’s bowling and GT’s batting. However, it will not be a surprise if CSK wins the final tonight. Former Indian test opener Virender Sehwag also feels the same and says that Dhoni is born to win trophies. In his interaction on Cricbuzz, he said,

Notably, some media reports suggest that this might be the last season for the CSK skipper. He himself indicated during the tournament that this is the last phase of his career. But Dhoni hasn’t confirmed it officially. But he would like to end the season with a title win.
