Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni became the most capped player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history as he took the field against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The legendary wicket-keeper batsman surpassed his teammate Suresh Raina who pulled out of the tournament due to personal reasons. Before the game, Raina and Dhoni were tied on 193 IPL appearances, but now, the latter is the lone holder of the prestigious record. Minutes after Dhoni confirmed his place in the playing XI, Raina congratulated his captain and even claimed that he’s happy about the fact that his feat has been broken by none other than the former Indian captain.

The post bagged a lot of attention as many rumours were doing rounds that things are not well between the left-handed batsman and CSK management.

Though Raina is confident about CSK lifting their fourth title, the Men in Yellow haven’t made a desirable start to their campaign.

They certainly need to get some victories under their belt to stay in the playoff race.
