1. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings) – The imagination of Dhoni leading an IPL side is well within the likes of everyone. Having said that, it won’t be that easy for the former Indian captain. There have been talks of him being promoted up the order in this season of the IPL, whether he will be able to perform the dual role of leading the side and batting in the Top 4 to an extent that will replicate Chennai Super Kings’ performance of the past remains the big question. If he is planning to bat in the Top 4, he will have to improve on his numbers of the last season, 290 runs in 16 matches at an average of 26.36 and a strike rate of 116.
