The fifth IPL title was a memorable one for Chennai Super Kings. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, CSK lifted the title with Ravindra Jadeja playing a crucial role in the 2023 IPL final. After the final, the one image that stood out was Dhoni lifting Jadeja in a celebratory mood. The duo has been one of the most successful partnerships in the IPL. Under Dhoni's captaincy, Jadeja has flourished. During the 2022 IPL, Jadeja was made the captain. However, mid-season Dhoni was again made the captain with CSK not doing well. This led to rumours that all might not be well between the two. But, Jadeja has often mentioned how Dhoni was his inspiration and how he dedicated the 2023 IPL to him.

MS Dhoni can also be called the synonym of Chennai Super Kings. The former India skipper has been leading the franchise since 2008 and guided them to the record-equalling five titles. The latest victory came in IPL 2023, where they defeated Gujarat Titans in the summit clash. Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the finest skippers a team can ever ask for and to find a player to replace him will be a daunting task for the CSK management. However, former CSK batter Ambati Rayudu has expressed his opinion on which player can be the future leader of the team.
