Check my post again. I was saying that he was one of the best five years back. But nowadays, his tactics are not that good. If he was that good, then why CSK was in such pathetic position during last year's IPL? And let's not forget the fact that Dhoni was directly responsible for some of CSK's losses last year. In many of the matches where CSK was chasing the targets, the combination of Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav slowed down the chase and made sure that CSK loses the match.
Last year CSK was struggling because of the changes that happened in the end and some of the players were struggling with form but this year they changed the team and now they are the best team in the competition and the matches they played it looked like they could reach the finals, it is a completely changed approach while some of the teams are still struggling to win matches consistently and even though MSD did not contribute with the bat his captaincy is excellent.
