MS Dhoni’s love for cricket has driven him to play another edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. The legend has a chance to break multiple records this season. While this might be his last, one can never be sure with Dhoni, as he could continue for another edition. Here are three major records he could break in IPL 2025.
3 major records MS Dhoni can break
200 catches as Wicketkeeper
MS Dhoni holds the record for most catches as a wicketkeeper in IPL history, with 190 catches and 42 stumpings in 264 matches. If he adds 10 more dismissals this season, he will become the first wicketkeeper to reach 200. With Rishabh Pant far behind at 95 catches, this record could stand for years, further cementing Dhoni’s legacy as the greatest wicketkeeper in IPL history.
Oldest player to score a half-century
Dhoni has a chance to become the oldest player to score a half-century in IPL history. Adam Gilchrist holds the record, scoring 85* at 41 years, 181 days in 2013. If Dhoni, at 43, reaches fifty this season, he’ll surpass Gilchrist. His last IPL fifty came at 40 years, 262 days. To achieve this, he may need to bat higher in the order for more time at the crease.
Becoming CSK’s Highest Run-Scorer
MS Dhoni is on the verge of becoming Chennai Super Kings’ highest run-scorer in IPL history. With 4,669 runs, he trails Suresh Raina by just 18 runs. Surpassing Raina, especially in CSK’s opening match, would further solidify Dhoni’s legendary status. Given his long-standing association with the franchise since 2008, this milestone would be a testament to his lasting impact and immense contribution to the team.
