How MS Dhoni Once Almost Became Mumbai Indians' Captain In Indian Premier League
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the most successful Indian captains ever, is also the most successful captain in IPL history. Dhoni has captained his side 8 times to the finals with 3 IPL trophies to his name with a win rate of 59.94%. While on the other side, the most successful IPL franchise ever - Mumbai Indians. MI have 5 IPL trophies, and 6 IPL final appearances with a win rate of 58.93 %. Just imagine - what could have happened if Dhoni led Mumbai Indians in the IPL?
This may come as a shock to some, but this actually nearly happened! Flashback to the 1st IPL auction ever - in 2008. After India had won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, the T20 format seemed lucrative as it was popular amongst fans. To bank on this popularity, the Indian Premier League was started by BCCI in India.
