But none of them will play in the 17th IPL for the same team. Chennai’s Mahendra Singh Dhoni has played all the IPL matches. But for two years, Chennai was exiled from the IPL. Dhoni played IPL for the Rising Pune Supergiants for those two years.
Rohit Sharma has also played in all IPLs. But he played for the Deccan Chargers (now Sunrisers Hyderabad) for the first two years. Later joined the Mumbai Indians team. Apart from this, Wriddhiman Saha is playing in the 17th IPL. But he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, and Gujarat Titans. As a result, he did not make a record of 17 consecutive IPL games for the same team.
