The Chepauk used to be a sea of yellow in the peak of summer and there usually used to be just one winner - Chennai Super Kings (CSK). And the man orchestrating those wins - day in, day out - standing behind the stumps or with the bat, was Mahendra Singh Dhoni Dhoni's growth as the captain of India between 2007 and 2015 was phenomenal, he won everything - but CSK was his laboratory. "The one moment that I always remember is the 2010 final against Mumbai Indians, which CSK won by 22 runs. The offspinner, till then, wasn't the bowler that he is today, but Dhoni knew what to expect. Why?Muttiah Muralitharan, his CSK teammate, had just come in to bowl for Sri Lanka, and Dhoni knew he is the best man to face the wizard.
