Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is one of the teams known for grooming youngsters, plus its right combination of experienced and young players. Over the years, they have produced match-winners, and also they have a knack for bringing out the potential in players.

CSK skipper MS Dhoni plays a huge role in this. Captain Cool keeps motivating the players and has given them much useful advice. A captain’s trust and backing have many times, assisted the player to perform much better. To prove this, take Ajinkya Rahane‘s example. He is fired up this season and has played a couple of scintillating knocks, giving answers to those who laughed at CSK for signing Rahane at the auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year.
