MS Dhoni Was Not The First-Choice Pick For CSK Captain In IPL 2008 : S Badrinath

By Sahil Mathur September 12, 2020 • 17:17 PM View: 1878

Former Chennai Super Kings batsman S Badrinath has revealed that MS Dhoni was not the first choice as the franchise captain back in 2008. The team management wanted former India batsman Virender Sehwag to lead the CSK.

When the management approached Sehwag, he said that he wanted to play for Delhi. CSK management then looked out for other options and then eventually signed MS Dhoni for INR 6 Crores. India winning the inaugural World Cup 2007 under the leadership of MS Dhoni was one of the major factors why CSK went with him.
