MS Dhoni is one of the few players who has played all 18 seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL) since 2008. The 43-year-old has played 278 matches in the tournament in which he has scored 5439 runs at an average of 38.30 and a strike rate of 137.45, making him one of the legends of the tournament.

Dhoni was bought by the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2008 auction at INR 9.5 crore. Dhoni has also led the Yellow Brigade to five IPL titles and has played the majority of the seasons with them, apart from the 2016 and 2017 seasons, where he was bought by Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) and led the side in the 2016 edition as well. The Pune franchise finished seventh on the points table in 2016 and made it into the finals of 2017. He is also the player who has played the most games as captain in the cash-rich league.
