Current GK ( Master) Sports

Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday became the first player in world cricket to captain a team in 300 T20 games across various competitions.
The 40-year-old former India captain, playing his 10th IPL final (ninth for CSK as captain), has now led the ‘Yellow Brigade’ in 214 games (including 23 matches of the now defunct Champions League T20). He has led CSK since the IPL’s inception.
He also captained Rising Pune Supergiants in 14 games during one IPL season apart from leading India in 72 matches, including six World Cups. His crowning glory would certainly be leading India to the T20 World Cup title in South Africa back in 2007. Before that tournament, India had played only one T20I, in 2006 in South Africa, of which Dhoni was a part.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is a former Indian international cricketer who captained the Indian national team in limited-overs formats from 2007 to 2017 and in Test cricket from 2008 to 2014. MS Dhoni is the only captain in the history of cricket to win all ICC trophies.
