Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a player who succeeded in the Time test reached his 400th T20 Game Landmark during the shock of Chennai Super Kings against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ma Chidambaram stadium on Friday. His stellar career T20, which saw him Captain India at the Victory of the 2007 T20 World Cup and played a massive role by leading CSK to five Indian Premier titles, saw him score 7,566 points at a typing rate of 135.90.
Although 44 years old, Dhoni’s stick may not be at the top of his prowess with the bat, but it is always fast behind the stumps and holds the record for most of the stumps of the format with 34 in its name.
- Rohit Sharma: 456
- Dinesh Karthik: 412
- Virat Kohli: 408
- Ms Dhoni: 400
Mahendra Singh Dhoni leads CSK again in the 2025 IPL season after the regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was excluded for the rest of the season with a fracture of the elbow.
This season has marked the first time that Dhoni returned as a captain since the IPL 2023 final in Ahmedabad, a memorable evening when Ravi will Jadeja struck six and four in the last two balls to secure the fifth IPL title of CSK. Having presented the post of captain in Gaikwad at the start of last season, Dhoni had taken a step back from leadership tasks but had continued to play a key role behind the scenes and with the bat.
Gaikwad, who directed the CSK in IPL 2025, suffered a stroke in his right forearm during the CSK match against the Royals of Rajasthan in Guwahati earlier this season. The scans later revealed a fracture of the elbow, ending his campaign.
Dhoni led CSK in a 239 game record, including all five victories of the franchise title. He had briefly renounced the role in 2022, putting the captain to Ravira Jadeja, but bad results led Dhoni to reassign control in the middle of the season.
