Former Indian captain MS Dhoni can easily be considered as the best captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Apart from his exceptional leadership skills, Dhoni has lit up the T20 Championship with his sensational finishing abilities and wicket-keeping skills. During the 2020 edition, the Chennai Super Kings captain became the first player to feature in a remarkable 100 IPL matches.
IPL 2020 did not go as planned for the Super Kings as they put up their worst performance in the history of the tournament. This is the first time that the team has failed to make it to the playoffs. However, it was also a personal milestone for Dhoni.
During the match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals on October 19, 2020, Dhoni featured in his 100th IPL game.
The CSK skipper failed to make his 200th appearance in the T20 extravaganza memorable as his team lost by seven wickets against the Royals. Batting first in the match, CSK scored 125 runs in their 20 overs. Dhoni too failed to play a decent innings as he lost his wicket to be run out for 28 off 28 balls.
Rajasthan chased down the score with ease in 17.3 overs courtesy of Jos Buttler. The wicketkeeper-batsman smashed 70 runs in just 48 balls to take his team home in a crucial game.
As far as Dhoni’s IPL career is concerned, the batsman has played for only two franchises Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiants. The Ranchi-born, in his stint with the Super Kings, has done the team proud four times in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. The 40-year-old has 4746 runs in 220 IPL matches. At an average of 39.5 and a strike rate of 135.8.
