#2 MS Dhoni

One of the most successful captains in the history of IPL, MS Dhoni has carried his team successfully into the playoffs for the tenth successive time. After finishing the league placed second, he would have his eyes set on the first qualifier where a win would take them directly to the finals. Apart from being a great captain, he is an excellent wicket-keeper too. He has scored 368 runs from 12 matches at an average and strike rate of 122.66 and 139.92, which are unbelievable numbers. He is also one of the world’s most dangerous batsman in the death overs.
