[http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ms-dhoni-rohit-sharma-csk-mumbai-indians-300x200.jpg]As the Indian Premier League (IPL) draws to a close today for the tenth time, all eyes are affixed to witness the ‘nip and tuck’ match between the two-time winners, Mumbai Indians?and the Rising Pune Supergiant in the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad. Making its way to become the first finalist in the 10th edition of IPL, Pune beat Mumbai in the first semifinals match leaving Mumbai with uncertainty to climb the conclusive steps to the finals of this season. Mumbai however fought back fearlessly by devouring KKR with 33 balls to spare at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru 2 days ago. Two season triumphant MI engaged in a deadlock combat with Pune for the finale of Vivo IPL 10, is intriguing because in?face to face situations on?three occasions of this IPL season, Mumbai has never been able to defeat Pune. As people are enthralled to witness the outcome of the above scenario and applaud the winning team of the season, another battle seems to be going on between the Mumbai Indians captain, Rohit Sharma and the former Indian skipper and Pune Supergiant star, M.S. Dhoni. In the 10-year history?of the Indian Premier League, Dhoni and Sharma both have been part of six IPL finals sharing this triumph with Suresh Raina and Ravichandran Ashwin as well. This finale will determine the lead that will be gained by either one of the two, Dhoni ad Sharma after their final combat in Hyderabad today. In accordance with previous stats of both these players, the former Indian captain bagged himself with two title triumphs of IPL and Champions League T20, while Mumbai stunner Rohit Sharma sealed MI’s name on the IPL title for three times and once on the CLT20 title. From the initial slump of batting exhibition, Dhoni has now displayed sturdy show with his bat, Rohit on the other end is eyeing on to prevail his ‘Hitman’ avatar for his side in this finale. The stylish right hander on Friday grabbed the first MI batsman to step beyond the 3000 run mark and it doesn’t really stop here, the Hitman also sealed the second spot tracing the footsteps of Suresh Raina for scoring 300 runs in every edition of IPL history. Thus the enigma rises among the masses is whether Rohit’s intransigent quest for a vibrant knock gets its life or Dhoni’s brute clobbering shatters the MI hope in the final ultimatum of Vivo Indian Premier League season 10. To be hunted down on the eve of 21st May. 

Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are in their own battle to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 finale at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad.

Profile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni represents the old guard in Indian cricket. He made his debut in the national side back in 2004 for the ODI team. A year later, MS Dhoni made his maiden Test appearance and finally, in 2006, he kicked off his T20 career.

The 37-year old has been a stalwart in the Indian team and he has brought a lot of success to the team. Back in 2014, he announced his retirement from Test cricket, but has continued to play in limited overs.

IPL Career

MS Dhoni is one of the few players who has stuck around the IPL since its inception. He joined the Chennai Super Kings for a fee of $1.5 million, making him the most expensive player at the time.

Since then, he has remained with the side until IPL 2015. In 2016 and 2017, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant after CSK were banned. But now, he is back in the yellow jersey and once again performing well.

During his tenure with CSK, MS Dhoni has lead the team to three IPL championships, including back-to-back wins. In essence, they are the first team to ever defend their title.

Even with Rising Pune Supergiant, Dhoni's troops were not to be trifled with and they were a force to be reckoned with. In fact, in 2017, Pune even reached the final, losing to eventual champions, Mumbai.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to IPL 2019, the Chennai Super Kings are on the hunt for their second back-to-back title win. If they do win, it will be their 4th ever and they will break the deadlock with the Mumbai Indians.

However, the competition will be tougher than ever. All the teams will be eager to put a stop to the CSK juggernaut. MS Dhoni is a capable leader and is no stranger to the winning mentality.

One thing that CSK is known for is, valuing experience over youth and they have opted for that same strategy in IPL 2019.
