MS Dhoni is a bonafide legend in the history of the game, let alone the Indian Premier League. Now, as he is all set to feature in the 14th edition of the league, there are many records that MS Dhoni has ruled in his long career in the IPL.
Dhoni has played as many as 204 IPL matches, the highest among all players to have played in the league.
In his career, he has hit 209 sixes, which is the highest number of sixes hit by an Indian batsman and the third-highest overall in the IPL history.
Out of those sixes, 23 sixes were hit for the Rising Pune Supergiants, and if he goes on to hit another 14 sixes this season, his account for the CSK will touch the 200 sixes-mark.
Further, Dhoni, who has been known to be a superstar finisher in his career has 141 sixes against his name in the over between 17 to 20, which is the highest among any batsmen in the IPL.
Also, on the overall runs scored, Dhoni is just 179 runs away from the iconic 7000 run-mark in the IPL.
On the wicketkeeping front, Dhoni is just 2 dismissals away from affecting 150 dismissals—which will be the highest by any wicketkeeper in the history of the league.
The Chennai Super Kings will start their campaign in the IPL 2021 against the Delhi Capitals in Mumbai on Saturday. The men in yellow will need Dhoni to come out all guns blazing after suffering a crumbling exit from the tournament last year.
