When the Indian Premier League (IPL) came along, its format was tailor-made for the man from Jharkhand. The result was a string of wins for Super Kings, the franchise he led for eight years. The Super Kings were the most successful team in the IPL with a win percentage of 60.68 in all games. In 2010, he also led the team to success in the Champions League Twenty20 followed by another win in 2014. Perhaps, being freed of the captaincy may also allow Dhoni to rediscover a bit of his batting form.
