MS Dhoni on verge of unique CSK record (Source: Twitter)
MS Dhoni will captain Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday at the team's home ground of MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for the 200th time in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The most reliable IPL captain in history is Dhoni. He guided CSK to four IPL titles (2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021 editions).
Although Mumbai Indians (MI) have five IPL titles, CSK under MS has the advantage of consistency. In 11 of the league's 13 iterations, he has guided CSK to the final four stages of the competition, with the team finishing second five times.
MS Dhoni boasts an impressive winning percentage of 60%, leading CSK
Dhoni has served as captain for 213 IPL games, winning 125, losing 87, and having one match ended in a draw. He is one of the most successful IPL captains overall, with a win percentage of 58.96. Also, from 2016 to 2017, he served as captain for one season of the IPL's temporary Rising Pune Supergiant team. During his first season with the team in 2016, he could only win five games and suffered nine defeats, placing him sixth in the standings.
Out of 213 games, he has led CSK in 199, winning 120, losing 78, and ending one game in a draw. His winning percentage while leading CSK is 60%. With 5,004 runs scored in the IPL's history at an average of 39.09 and a strike rate above 135, Dhoni is also a very successful hitter. In his IPL career, he has hit 24 half-centuries, with a high of 84*.
Dhoni, who is currently 41 years old and likely playing in his final IPL season, will undoubtedly find this occasion significant. His team has the star power to use their performances to make this event special for the Indian legend. CSK still has a ways to go in the competition, as they are currently sitting in fifth place with two wins, a loss, and four points. But they must first concentrate on Rajasthan Royals, who have looked like a team to beat this year and are currently in second place with identical win-loss records to CSK.
