MS Dhoni IPL salary
MS Dhoni made his IPL debut for CSK in the inaugural season in 2008 when the franchise acquired his services for ₹6 crore. Under his captaincy, CSK made it into the final of that season where they went on to lose against Rajasthan Royals and lost the chance to become the first team to get their hands on the trophy. However, Dhoni had to wait for his first IPL trophy as captain as he led towards CSK glory back-to-back in 2010 and 2011.
