Another Record for MS Dhoni! CSK Captain Becomes First Player To Achieve This Record in IPL 2025 Clash Against LSG

He achieved this record in the first innings of the match.

During the first innings of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash, MS Dhoni has achieved a unique record. He has become the first player to complete 200 dismissals in the 18-year-long league.

Badoni had come down the pitch too early to play the spinner. The ball went wide past him, giving Dhoni plenty of time to stump him multiple times.

The review confirmed that Dhoni collected the ball behind the line. Over the years, the former India captain has built and maintained the reputation of being the fastest man behind the stumps. This was just another day for CSKians to rejoice in unison.

On the other hand, Badoni was looking dangerous after LSG lost their top order cheaply. Before he departed, he had slammed two sixes and a boundary. He scored 22 runs off 17 balls before getting dismissed.

The hosts put on a relatively disappointing batting show at their home den. At the end of 20 overs, the LSG scoreboard read 166/7 with skipper Rishabh Pant being the top-scorer with 63 off 49. Crucial cameos from Mitchell Marsh, Badoni, and Abdul Samad helped LSG set this par score.

Jadeja and Matheesha Pathirana celebrated with two wickets each while Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj snared one wicket each.

MS Dhoni and CSK in IPL 2025

Dhoni has donned the captaincy hat once again for CSK after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s elbow injury. CSK has named 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre as Gaikwad’s replacement in the squad.

While it’s not an overstatement to reckon Dhoni as the quickest glovesman, his batting firepower has been questionable this season. Though at the age of 43, Dhoni still holds the strength and skill to slam sixes all over the park, his show with the willow has been dismaying. He has come in as low as No.9 when the RRR would’ve soared to the sky. In six games so far, he has gathered just 106 at a strike rate of 146.47.

With Gaikwad unavailable for the rest of the season, a lot of lower-order responsibilities fall on Dhoni’s shoulders to steer the innings for CSK.

As the CSK captain, Dhoni is playing just his second match. Previously, the Super Kings were defeated at their home ground by the Kolkata Knight Riders. Chepauk, which used to be CSK’s fortress until last year, has seen some of the most embarrassing and record-breaking losses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals.

With just one win in six games so far, CSK come on the back of five consecutive losses this season. The five-time IPL champions sit at the bottom of the points table, watching their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs fade with every defeat.
