MS Dhoni is on the verge of breaking several records [Source: @imDhoni_fc/X.com]
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 11th match of IPL 2025 on March 30 in Guwahati. CSK is coming off a tough loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where they suffered a 50-run defeat at Chepauk. Chasing RCB’s total, CSK lost seven wickets with just 99 runs on the board.
MS Dhoni walked in when the team needed 98 runs from 28 balls, but despite his efforts, the target was too steep to chase down.
While CSK looks to bounce back, all eyes will be on MS Dhoni, who is on the brink of achieving multiple records in T20 cricket. The upcoming match could see the former CSK captain adding new milestones to his already legendary career. Let’s take a look at the records he is set to break.
1) 350 Sixes in T20s
The 43-year-old star batter is just 10 sixes away from reaching a massive 350 sixes in T20 cricket. If he achieves this, he will become only the third Indian player to hit 350 sixes in T20s.
Indians with the Most Sixes in T20s:
Player | Innings | Sixes |
Rohit Sharma | 435 | 525 |
Virat Kohli | 382 | 416 |
Suryakumar Yadav | 285 | 342 |
MS Dhoni | 342 | 338 |
2) 7500 Runs in T20s
MS Dhoni is closing in on another major milestone, needing just 38 more runs to complete 7500 T20 runs in his career.
3) 100 Fours in T20s
The former India cricketer is just one four away from reaching 100 fours in T20 cricket. This would be yet another achievement in his incredible batting career.
4) 250 Sixes from No. 4 or Above in IPL
If Dhoni smashes one more six, he will complete 250 sixes while batting at No. 4 or higher in IPL. This particular milestone shows his power-hitting ability even while batting in the middle order.
5) 150 Catches for CSK
As a fielder and wicketkeeper, Dhoni is just two catches away from completing 150 catches for CSK in IPL. This showcases his safe hands behind the stumps and in the field.
6) 200 Dismissals for CSK
MS Dhoni’s wicketkeeping skills have been outstanding over the years and in the ongoing tournament, he has shown his lighting stumping. Meanwhile, he is just four dismissals away from reaching 200 dismissals for CSK in IPL, making him one of the most reliable wicketkeepers in the tournament’s history.
7) 150 Catches in India (T20s)
Another record within reach is 150 catches in T20 cricket in India. Dhoni needs five more catches to achieve this milestone, which further cements his legacy as a dependable fielder.
8) 150 Catches as a Wicketkeeper in IPL
In IPL history, no wicketkeeper has taken 150 catches yet, but Dhoni is just two more catches away from becoming the first to reach this record and seems likes he might get this milestone against RR.
