The two teams will fight for the IPL 2023 glory and it promises to be an intriguing encounter between the two giants of the tournament. As Dhoni looks to set sights on the 5th IPL victory as CSK captain, he has been regarded as the best-ever T20 captain by former Australia player Tom Moody.
Moody, who has also worked in IPL previously as head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad, hailed the former India captain and termed him as ‘hands down’ the best ever T20 captain in the world.
“MS Dhoni hands down in my view is the best T20 captain we have ever seen. And he has shown examples of that this year. And if you are talking about Test cricket, I would not put MS Dhoni in that category,” Moody told ESPNcricinfo.
It is without a doubt that Dhoni has been tremendous as captain across the limited-overs formats. He won the T20 World Cup (2007), ODI World Cup (2011) and Champions Trophy (2013) as India captain, and has won 4 IPL titles with Chennai Super Kings.
It is to be seen how the 41-year-old fares on Sunday, but a win for CSK will equal Dhoni’s tally with Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma as the most successful captain in IPL history.
Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar, who was in the same panel, agreed with Moody and said no one comes closer to Dhoni when it comes to the T20 format.
“Let’s not forget Arjuna Ranatunga’s impact on Sri Lanka. Steve Waugh as a Test captain, Kapil Dev in 50-over cricket. Others are also there, but in T20 there is no one to challenge MS Dhoni,” Manjrekar said.
