IPL 2025: Despite retiring from international cricket, former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is always in discussions in the cricket world. Even after separating from international cricket, Dhoni remains active in the IPL so far. Before the start of IPL 2025, there is a lot of discussion of Dhoni once again. Dhoni will take the field to play for Chennai Super Kings at the age of 43 this time.
Dhoni has now not only brought Team India a big success under his captaincy but he has also shown the wonders of his captaincy in the IPL. Under his captaincy, Chennai Super Kings have won the IPL title five times. Dhoni can make many big records during the IPL this time. Due to this, everyone’s eyes will be on Dhoni’s performance in the IPL starting soon.
Dhoni is just 10 steps away from two hundred figures
Dhoni has a long relationship with Chennai Super Kings and this time the franchise has retained Dhoni for four crore rupees. By the way, it is believed that the 18th season of the IPL can prove to be the last for Dhoni because after this, the impact of increasing age will now appear on his performance. However, he has not yet allowed his increasing age to dominate his performance.
Dhoni’s performance in the IPL has been excellent so far and he has hunted 190 during 264 matches as a wicketkeeper. He has achieved this major achievement while playing for Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiants. During this time, along with taking 148 catches, 42 batsmen have shown the path of the pavilion through stumping. In this way, Dhoni is just 10 steps away from reaching 200 figures.
In such a situation, if Dhoni manages to hunt and do 10 in the upcoming season of IPL, then the total number of his victims will reach 200. In the coming days, it will prove to be very difficult for any wicketkeeper to break this Maharikord. Currently, active wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is second who has hunted 95 in 111 matches. By the way, it will not be easy for him to break Dhoni’s record.
Raina needs only 18 runs to leave behind
During the upcoming IPL season, Dhoni may also succeed in leaving behind Suresh Raina, a batsman of Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni needs only 18 runs to leave Raina behind. With 18 runs, Dhoni will become the highest run -scorer for Chennai Super Kings.
For Chennai Super Kings, Suresh Raina scored 4687 runs while Dhoni has so far scored 4669 runs for this team. In such a situation, it is believed that this time it will not be too difficult for Dhoni to leave Raina behind during the IPL.
This maharikard may be recorded in the name of Dhoni
Playing for Chennai Super Kings, if Dhoni managed to score 50 plus this time, he will make a big record. By doing this, he will become the oldest player to show this wonderful. The record of the oldest player to score 50 plus in the IPL is still recorded in the name of former Australian legendary player and wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.
Gilchrist scored an unbeaten 85 against RCB in 2013. At that time Gilchrist was 41 years and 181 days. Dhoni set his last century in the IPL 40 years in 262 days. He played this innings against Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Dhoni is taking off to play for Chennai Super Kings at the age of 43 and this time if he managed to score 50 plus runs, he will be able to leave Gilchrist behind.
Dhoni lands in a very lower order for batting so far and in such a situation he does not get much ball to play. If they get down to bat slightly, they will be easy to make this record.
