IPL 2025: MS Dhoni's Incredible IPL Feat That's Almost Impossible To Beat
IPL 2025: Have a look at Mahendra Singh Dhoni's extraordinary feat as a captain that seems destined to remain untouched for generations.
Since its inception in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a stage for creating legends. Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) winner MS Dhoni's contributions to the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament is beyond records and statistics.
The former CSK captain's calm demeanor, unmatched decision-making under pressure, and ability to nurture young talent have made him a legend of the game.
Among many remarkable feats achieved by several legends in its 17 seasons, one IPL milestone stands unchallenged - Mahendra Singh Dhoni's extraordinary feat as a captain - and the record seems destined to remain untouched for generations.
MS Dhoni's unmatched captaincy record
While MS Dhoni has set numerous milestones in the Indian Premier League (IPL), his crowning achievement is his success as a captain. With a winning percentage that no one has come close to matching, Dhoni's record speaks volumes about his leadership.
Over his career in the Indian Premier League, the legendary Chennai Super Kings (CSK) keeper-batter has captained in 226 matches, leading his team to win in 133 games while losing only 91. His consistency sets a standard that appears almost impossible to surpass.
Rohit Sharma: the closest competitor
After Dhoni, Mumbai Indians' Rohit Sharma is the closest competitor, having captained his team in 158 matches with 87 wins. However, the gap between the two remains substantial. With Hardik Pandya now roped in as the new skipper of MI and Rohit now focusing solely on playing and not captaining, it's clear that Dhoni's IPL record as a captain will remain unbeaten for years to come.
Will MS Dhoni Play in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025?
Yes! Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have retained their iconic leader MS Dhoni for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Rs 4 crore. This means fans will once again see Dhoni in action. Across 264 IPL matches, Dhoni has scored 5243 runs at a strike rate of 137.54 and an average of 39.13, including 24 half-centuries.
