MS Dhoni Sixes Landmark IPL 2025
MS Dhoni is closing in on a huge six-hitting milestone as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) gear up to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2025. The 42-year-old cricket legend needs just one more six to hit 350 sixes in Men’s T20s, making him only the fourth Indian to reach this rare feat. This key moment in Dhoni’s career is creating excitement among fans and Cricket Army alike.
Dhoni’s Six-Hitting Journey
Currently, Dhoni has smashed 349 sixes in 403 T20 matches, amassing 7,612 runs at an impressive average of 37.68 and a strike rate of 135.75. The only Indians ahead of him on this list are Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav. Globally, Chris Gayle dominates with 1,056 sixes in 463 games. Dhoni’s consistency and power hitting have kept him a vital asset for CSK even at 42.
CSK’s Struggle to Salvage Pride
CSK started strong with a win over Mumbai Indians but soon slipped to the bottom of the points table. They missed out on playoff qualification for the second IPL season in a row. Dhoni stepped back into the captain’s role after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury and has been steady with 180 runs from 12 matches at a strike rate of 140.62. His unbeaten 26 off 11 balls recently earned him the Player of the Match award, proving his impact remains significant.
If CSK manages a win against RR in Jaipur, they can climb to eighth place, pushing Rajasthan Royals down the table. This match is crucial for CSK to regain some pride and momentum in IPL 2025.
