CSK vs RR: MS Dhoni achieves massive T20 landmark; joins Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav in elite list | Mint TechTricks365


Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni became the fourth Indian to reach the landmark of 350 T20 sixes. The five-time IPL-winning captain achieved the milestone on Tuesday during CSK’s IPL 2025 clash against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi. He smashed Riyan Parag for a six in the 16th over to reach the coveted feat.   

With 350 sixes to his name in 404 T20 matches, Dhoni is currently sitting in the 34th spot overall. Among the Indians, Rohit Sharma (542), Virat Kohli (434) and Suryakumar Yadav (364) are ahead of two-time World Cup-winning captain Dhoni.

Chris Gayle holds the record for most sixes in T20s with 1056 maximums in 463 matches. In IPL, Gayle once again leads the chart with 357 runs in 242 matches. Rohit is second with 297 sixes, followed by Kohli and Dhoni on 290 and 263 sixes respectively.

As far as Dhoni is concerned, the wicketkeeper-batter scored 180 runs so far in 12 matches at an average of 25.71 and a strike-rate of 140.62. It was also the first time, CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs in two consecutive IPL seasons. 

Rajasthan Royals opt to bat

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals have opted to bat first in their final IPL 2025 game after Sanju Samson won the toss. While CSK are playing with an unchanged team, Rajasthan Royals went with a couple of changes. Notably, both CSK and Rajasthan Royals have already been eliminated from the race to the playoffs.
