If you are a fan of Indian cricket and IPL, you can easily understand the fact that MS Dhoni has been the biggest reason behind the success of Chennai Super Kings.

Right from the very first season, MSD is the man who has always led Chennai Super Kings whenever they have played a game.

But did you know that MS Dhoni wasn’t the first choice to captain CSK?

Yes. As per reports in Hindustan Times, cricketer S Badrinath has revealed

“IPL started in 2008, and if you see who was the first option for Chennai Super Kings, it was Virender Sehwag. The management had decided on picking Sehwag for sure, but Sehwag himself said that he was brought up in Delhi, so he would have a better connection.”
