Former legendary Indian World Cup-winning skipper and current wicket-keeper batter for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is one of the finest players in Indian Premier League history. The 43-year-old, who has led his side to five IPL titles since the league's inception, has done a magnificent job in all three departments i.e wicket-keeping, captaincy and batting.

The death-over specialist, who can come in and smash runs at a brisk rate to help the side post massive totals on the board, has scored over 5000 runs in the IPL at a strike rate of 137.69.

In the upcoming clash against the Delhi Capitals, to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, MS Dhoni is expected to lead the side in the absence of regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is said to be battling an injury.

With the bat, Dhoni has played two cameos of 30* and 16 so far, both in losing causes, as CSK have currently won only one of their encounters after playing three games. With the upcoming game against DC in mind, Dhoni is close to breaking three massive records behind the stumps with gloves in hand.

Records that MS Dhoni can achieve in the upcoming game against DC:

1) Needs 2 Catches To Complete 150 Catches For CSK

In 261 matches that MS Dhoni has played for CSK so far in the IPL and now-defunct Champions League T20, the wicket-keeper batter has taken 148 catches, including those as a wicket-keeper and a fielder. Overall, Dhoni has caught 144 catches as a wicket-keeper, while the remaining four have come when he was playing as a fielder for the side.

With just two catches required, Dhoni will become the first player for the side to grab 150 catches. Astonishingly, Dhoni has caught 152 catches overall in the IPL, making him the player with the most catches in IPL history, ever, bettering Dinesh Karthik's overall tally of 145.

2) Needs 1 Stumping To Complete 50 Stumping For CSK

Another record that MS Dhoni can break for the Chennai Super Kings is the record for the 50 stumpings in the yellow jersey, with 49 done currently, including both IPL and CLT20. Overall, in IPL history, Dhoni has enforced 45 stumpings, also making him the first in the list of most stumpings in the IPL.

3) Needs 3 Dismissals To Complete 200 Dismissals For CSK

Next, the third record that MS Dhoni can break in this encounter is the record for most dismissals for Chennai Super Kings in history. Currently sitting at the top with 197 dismissals, Dhoni has done wonders for his side in the IPL and Champions League as he is just three dismissals away from achieving a massive landmark of 200 dismissals for CSK.

Also, just in the IPL, Dhoni has 197 dismissals as well, which includes both CSK and the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiants, his previous franchise. Therefore, he is three dismissals away from achieving both landmarks in this encounter.
