Four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 49th match of IPL 2022 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune today. Today's match will be special for CSK and their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni), because Dhoni's eyes will be on two records today. However, in both these cases, he will definitely be behind Virat Kohli.
Actually today Dhoni will play 200th match in IPL for Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni will achieve this position as soon as he gets on the field. In the case of playing 200 or more matches for any one franchise, only Virat Kohli is ahead of him. Virat has played 217 matches for Bangalore in IPL so far. Dhoni had to play for other franchises in 2016 and 2017 after Chennai was banned, otherwise he would have been ahead of Kohli.
Dhoni will complete six thousand runs as captainActually, before the start of this season, Dhoni had left the captaincy of CSK. He gave the responsibility to Ravindra Jadeja, but after six losses in eight matches, Ravindra Jadeja, facing pressure, again handed over the captaincy to Dhoni. He said that he is not able to focus on captaincy because of the pressure of captaincy. Dhoni also captained in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai won the match by 13 runs. Dhoni will play the 302nd match as T20 captain as soon as he gets on the field.
While captaining 301 T20Is so far, Dhoni has scored 5994 runs in 185 innings at an average of 38.67. During this he has scored 23 half-centuries. As soon as he scored six runs, Dhoni would become the second captain in the world to complete six thousand runs as a T20 captain. Virat Kohli is ahead of him in this matter too. Virat has scored 6451 runs in 185 innings of 190 T20 matches as a captain at an average of 43.29. This includes five centuries and 48 half-centuries.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is at number three after Kohli and Dhoni. Rohit has scored 4721 runs as T20 captain at an average of 31.05. Now it remains to be seen whether Dhoni can achieve this position against Bangalore or not. In the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Dhoni scored eight runs in seven balls.
