MS Dhoni on the Brink of History: 3 Major Records He Can Break in IPL 2025

MS Dhoni’s passion for cricket continues to defy expectations as he gears up for another edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. While speculation is rife that this might be his final season, one can never be sure with Dhoni. The legendary captain has a golden opportunity to rewrite history by breaking multiple records this year. Here’s a look at the three major milestones Dhoni can achieve in IPL 2025.

1. First Wicketkeeper to Reach 200 Catches

Dhoni already holds the record for the most dismissals as a wicketkeeper in IPL history, with 190 catches and 42 stumpings in 264 matches. If he manages just 10 more dismissals, he will become the first wicketkeeper in IPL history to reach the 200-catch milestone. With Rishabh Pant trailing far behind at 95 catches, this record could remain untouched for years, further cementing Dhoni’s status as the greatest IPL wicketkeeper of all time.

2. Oldest Player to Score a Half-Century

Another remarkable record Dhoni could break is becoming the oldest player to score a half-century in IPL history. Currently, this feat is held by Adam Gilchrist, who smashed 85 at 41 years and 181 days* in 2013. If Dhoni, at 43, scores a fifty in IPL 2025, he will surpass Gilchrist to claim this unique record. His last IPL fifty came at 40 years, 262 days, proving he still has the ability to make an impact. However, to achieve this, Dhoni might need to bat higher in the order and spend more time at the crease.

3. Becoming CSK’s All-Time Leading Run-Scorer

Dhoni is on the verge of becoming Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) highest run-scorer in IPL history. With 4,669 runs, he is just 18 runs shy of surpassing Suresh Raina, who sits at 4,687 runs. If he achieves this feat, especially in CSK’s opening match of IPL 2025, it would be a fitting tribute to his legendary career. Having been with CSK since the inaugural season in 2008, this milestone would further solidify Dhoni’s iconic status within the franchise.

What’s Next for Dhoni in IPL 2025?

As IPL 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on MS Dhoni and his potential record-breaking feats. With the ability to create history yet again, fans eagerly await to see if the CSK captain can defy time and etch his name further into the record books. Will he reach these milestones? Only time will tell. Stay tuned to Khelo Pakistan for all the latest IPL 2025 updates.
