IPL 2023, CSK vs RR: MS Dhoni set to captain Chennai Super Kings for 200th time

Chennai: Chepauk is set to witness a historic moment during Chennai Super Kings’ home game against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday.

‘Thala’ MS Dhoni is all set to captain CSK for the 200th time against the Royals, bringing another reason to celebrate for a usually packed ground. Dhoni is going to be the first captain to lead a team 200 times in  the IPL.

For the record, Dhoni has led 213 times in the IPL – he had also captained Rising Pune Supergiants 14 times in 2016. He has led CSK 199 times and will create history when he walks out for the toss against RR.

This time, he will complete the historic number solely for CSK and thus will become the first captain in the IPL history to do so.
