MS Dhoni Clinches IPL Record as CSK Defeat MI in Opening Match

MS Dhoni Clinches IPL Record as CSK Defeat MI in Opening Match
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni became the first-ever captain to lead a single franchise to 100 wins in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. Dhoni's 100th victory as CSK captain in the IPL came during their five-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2020's opener in Abu Dhabi. Chasing MI's target of 163, CSK sealed the game with four balls to spare.

Dhoni, who has led two franchises in the IPL, has a total of 104 victories as a captain: 100 with CSK and four with Rising Pune Supergiants. Gautam Gambhir, who led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to two IPL titles, won 61 matches as captain of the Kolkata-based franchise, while Rohit Sharma has led MI to 60 wins so far. Virat Kohli has 49 wins as the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), a franchise that is yet to win the coveted trophy.
