5. MS Dhoni (CSK)

Since the inception of IPL, it had been difficult to image IPL without MS Dhoni or CSK without him. He is the man behind the brand CSk has become in the first decade of IPL. He has that charisma that attracts fans from all around the world. Despite the fact that he has seen some dip in his batting form from the last couple of IPL seasons, his cricketing brain is incomparable when it comes to T20s. There is no doubt about the fact that he is most successful t20 skipper in the world. If Chennai wants to lift the trophy this year, this man needs to be at his very best in the whole season.
