MS Dhoni is undeniably one of the most important names in IPL history. At 43 years old, he’s been a massive influence in this cash-filled tournament, bringing excitement and energy to the games. You know him for his incredible sixes that often light up the field. Even though he’s not the young player he once was, the former Indian cricket legend and captain of Chennai Super Kings is still very much in the game. This season, he got retained by CSK as an uncapped player for a neat INR 4 crore.
Dhoni, who bats right-handed, is known for his ability to finish matches in style. You can often expect him to step up during the tense last overs, and he rarely lets his team down. The guy from Ranchi really knows how to make things exciting in those crucial moments. His success in the death overs is remarkable, and fans can’t get enough of his big hits.
Even though he usually bats in the middle order, he is on the verge of joining some big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav in the record books. Dhoni has hit a total of 338 sixes so far, which means he’s just 12 away from smashing 350 sixes in T20 cricket. Right now, Rohit Sharma holds the record with 525 sixes, followed by Kohli with 416. After them, Suryakumar Yadav has 342 sixes in 285 innings, and Dhoni is right behind him looking to close that gap.
So far, Dhoni has played 265 matches in the IPL, scoring a whopping 5,243 runs, with an average of 39.12 and a strike rate of 137.46. And let’s not forget about his T20 international stats, where he scored 1,617 runs in 98 matches with an average of 37.60. In the IPL alone, he’s already hit 252 sixes, which just goes to show how powerful a hitter he remains.
