MS Dhoni may have lost his captaincy for the Chennai Super Kings, but the six-time IPL-winning skipper has been named as the leader of Fox Cricket’s ‘All-time XI’ in the IPL. MS Dhoni is listed as the captain of a squad that includes Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suresh Raina. In a list released by Fox Cricket, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Jasprit Bumrah are the seven cricketers who have made it to the XI.
According to the list, Rohit Sharma and David Warner are expected to open the batting. Virat Kohli has been placed at number 3, with Suresh Raina at number 4. Both batsmen are expected to form the middle-order of the team. AB de Villiers, MS Dhoni, and Ravindra Jadeja are set to bat in the lower middle-order, followed by Dwayne Bravo at number 8.
Rashid Khan has been named as the 12th man in the list, but one of the exciting additions to this playing XI is Yuzvendra Chahal, who is the first-choice leg-spinner. Chahal is expected to partner with Ravindra Jadeja as spin-playing options. The pace attack of the side is led by Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga, and Dwayne Bravo. Overall, the side looks balanced, and the debate over the best skipper in the IPL seems to have been settled, as MS Dhoni is expected to lead Rohit Sharma, his fierce competitor in the IPL.
