Mahendra Singh Dhoni
IPL 2025: The 18th season of IPL began on 22 March with the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Now the second match of the season will be played on Sunday i.e. 23 March between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). However, the match that the fans are the most awaited will be played on Sunday from 7:30 pm. This third match of IPL 2025 will play the match between 2 most successful teams of IPL- Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (Mi). In this high-voltage match played in Chennai, everyone’s eyes will be fixed on Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who will have 2 great records on the target.
43 -year -old Dhoni can create new history
In fact, as soon as he scored his first half -century in IPL 2025, Dhoni will become the oldest wicketkeeper to put a fifty in the history of the Indian T20 League. Currently, this record is named after Punjab Kings and former Australia star wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist did a big feat of scoring half -centuries at the age of 41 years and 181 days. Let me tell you, Dhoni will turn 44 in this July. That is, at the age of 43, former Indian captain and wicketkeeper have a great chance to create history.
Suresh Raina will be left behind
Suresh Raina will also have a big record on Dhoni’s target in the match against Mumbai. If Dhoni manages to score 19 runs, he will become the highest run -scorer for Chennai Super Kings in IPL. Dhoni has scored a total of 4669 runs in 234 IPL matches for Chennai, including 22 half -centuries. At the same time, Suresh Raina has 4687 runs while playing for CSK. Raina has said goodbye to cricket, but MSD is playing IPL even at the age of 43, which is a very big thing in itself. Now it will be interesting to see how many records are destroyed by Dhoni’s bat this season.
