Delhi: Veteran Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is close to another special place. On Tuesday, May 20, when the IPL 2025 will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the fans will be eyeing only one thing, a six on Dhoni’s bat.
Dhoni will have 350 sixes
Actually, Dhoni has hit 349 sixes in his T20 career so far. If he hit another six in this match, then his 350 sixes will be completed. He will become the fourth Indian player to reach this figure. Prior to them, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have done this feat. Dhoni will be the 34th batsman all over the world who will complete 350 sixes in T20 cricket.
Indians who hit the most sixes in T20
| player name | Number of matches | Six sixes |
|---|---|---|
| Rohit Sharma | 459 | 542 |
| Virat Kohli | 410 | 434 |
| Suryakumar Yadav | 321 | 368 |
| MS Dhoni | 403 | 349 |
Dhoni’s T20 journey so far
Dhoni has scored 7612 runs in 403 T20 matches so far. His batting average is 37.68 and the strike rate is 135.75. The record of hitting the most sixes in T20 is in the name of Chris Gayle of West Indies, who has hit 1056 sixes in 463 matches.
Disappointing IPL 2025 for CSK
In IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings started with a win against Mumbai Indians. But after this, the team’s performance continued to fall. Gradually the CSK points came down in the table and finally dropped out of the tournament.
Dhoni’s performance was also mixed. He took over the responsibility of captaincy in the middle of the season, when Ruturaj Gaikwad was out and got out. In this season, Dhoni has scored 180 runs in 12 matches so far. His average is 25.71 and the strike rate is 140.62.
If Chennai Super Kings manage to defeat Rajasthan, the team will reach the eighth position in the points table and Rajasthan will go to the bottom. This is the first time Chennai has not been able to qualify for the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
