LSG vs CSK / Dhoni achieved another feat, became the first player in the world to do this in IPL

LSG vs CSK: Mahendra Singh Dhoni's name is taken in the world of cricket as a player who is ready to create history every time he enters the field. The IPL 2025 season was also not untouched by this. In the match played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday, Dhoni touched another big milestone. He has set a unique record by completing 200 dismissals in the IPL. This achievement has not been achieved by any player in the IPL till date.

Dhoni's record-breaking moment

As soon as Dhoni stumped LSG batsman Ayush Badoni off Ravindra Jadeja's ball, he touched the mark of 200 dismissals in the IPL. This figure includes 154 catches, 46 stumpings and 4 catches as a fielder. Overall, this performance is a great example of Dhoni's wicketkeeping talent. He has played 271 matches in IPL so far and has proved himself as a responsible and smart player every time.

Jadeja and Dhoni's 'superhit pair'

Dhoni and Jadeja's pair has become a reliable combination in IPL. Dhoni has done nine stumpings off Jadeja's ball so far, due to which this pair has now come in the list of most successful wicketkeeper-bowler pairs in the history of IPL. Earlier, only three pairs - Dinesh Karthik-Amit Mishra, Adam Gilchrist-Pragyan Ojha - were able to do this. If Dhoni and Jadeja do one more stumping this season, then they will leave all these pairs behind and become number one.

Dhoni has not only done stumpings off Jadeja's ball, but has also taken 10 catches. In this way, this pair has sent batsmen to the pavilion 19 times so far. Currently, the pair of Rishabh Pant and Kagiso Rabada are at the top with 20 dismissals, but the Dhoni-Jadeja pair is just one step behind them.

CSK's challenges and expectations

While Dhoni is making waves with personal achievements, Chennai Super Kings' current season is not going so well. Before the match against LSG, CSK had won only one match out of six, and was at the bottom of the points table, at the tenth position.

Now that the command of the team is once again in the experienced hands of Dhoni, fans are hoping that CSK will soon return to the winning track. Under Dhoni's captaincy, the team has made the impossible possible many times, and this record is also proof that 'Thala' is still standing strong on every front of the game.
