MS Dhoni had taken the world by storm after becoming a young captain of an inexperienced Indian team at the T20 World Cup 2007 in South Africa. He turned heads as he led India to the title of ‘T20 Champions’. The following year, he became the captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the inaugural edition of the IPL.

Since then, he has captained CSK for in 10 editions of the IPL including the ongoing season. While the franchise was suspended, Dhoni was with Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) in 2016 and 2017, in which he led the side in the first year. In all, he has won three IPL titles as captain of CSK before 2019.

He also led the Chennai team to victory in the now defunct Champions League T20 twice. Talking about IPL wins, no other captain has won more than ‘Thala’, as he is fondly known in Chennai.

On 11 April 2019, CSK defeated the Rajasthan Royals as Mitchell Santner hit Ben Stokes for a six on the last ball. This was the 100th IPL win for MS Dhoni as captain. The whole of India celebrated the milestone of their most loved captain.

N Srinivasan, on behalf of the CSK team management awarded 100 whistles to Dhoni with the caption ‘YELLOVE 100’. Sakshi Dhoni posted a picture of MS collecting the award from Srinivasan and posted it on Instagram. She captioned the image, “Congratulations #thala ???????? #whistlepodu 100 whistles for you !
