On the strength of these 5 players, MS Dhoni could make CSK the champion
Daryl Mitchell
In IPL 2024, the player who could play the most crucial role in making MS Dhoni a champion is New Zealand’s star all-rounder, Daryl Mitchell. Chennai bought him in the IPL 2024 auction for 14 crores. Mitchell had a fantastic last year, scoring many runs in international cricket. His performance suggests that he could score well in IPL 2024 too. In 2023, Mitchell scored 1989 runs in 51 matches, making him the third-highest international run-scorer that year.

Ruturaj Gaikwad
One of India’s young opening batsmen, Ruturaj Gaikwad, played a significant role in making MS Dhoni a champion in IPL 2023. He could continue to play a crucial role in IPL 2024. Reports suggest that after Dhoni, Gaikwad might be given the responsibility to lead Chennai, especially with senior players like Ravindra Jadeja already in the team.
Sameer Rizvi
Sameer Rizvi, whom Chennai acquired for 8.40 crores in IPL 2024, could play a pivotal role in making Chennai the champion. This will be Rizvi’s first IPL season, and his middle-order batting could be crucial for the team. He might fill in the spot vacated by Ambati Rayudu, who announced his retirement after IPL 2023.
Shivam Dube
Shivam Dube, considered one of India’s best all-rounders, could help Dhoni win the trophy in IPL 2024 with his powerful performances. In IPL 2023, Dube scored over 400 runs with a strike rate of over 150, and a similar performance is expected from him this season.
Matheesha Pathirana
Matheesha Pathirana, who made his debut for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022, played a crucial role in helping MS Dhoni win the trophy for the fifth time. His lethal bowling could be instrumental again, but he will need support from other team members.
