The Chennai Super Kings will be playing their first match of IPL 2023 against Gujarat Titans on March 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. All eyes will be on MS Dhoni who will probably play his last IPL season this year. Though MS Dhoni may not be a part of IPL 2024, his legacy in this league will always be remembered.
IPL: Here are 3 MS Dhoni records that may never be broken
1. Most sixes in the 20th over
So far in the IPL, MSD has hit 52 sixes in the 20th over, the most by any player in the league’s history. The closest players to Dhoni are Kieron Pollard (33) and Ravindra Jadeja (26). The record is hard to break because very few players have the ability to hit sixes like MS Dhoni while playing batting at the lower middle order.
