Dhoni will become the fourth Indian player to reach 400 T20 matches in an appearances chart dominated Kieron Pollard’s 695 matches. Dhoni has also recorded the most appearances in IPL hory since its inception in 2008, appearing in 272 games while notching up 5377 runs  at an average of 38.96 and a strike rate of 137.87.
Dhoni is the third-highest active six-hitter in the IPL, only behind Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Among Indians, only Rohit, Kohli and Dinesh Karthik have appeared in more T20 matches than Dhoni. Dhoni was part of India’s first-ever T20I match in 2006 against South Africa in Johannesburg. The wicketkeeper-batter was, however, out for a two-ball duck in his first outing.
Taking over the CSK reins from the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dhoni has collected 134 runs in eight innings this season at a 152.27 strike rate.
