He is one of the two captains, along with Rohit Sharma, to win five IPL trophies. In T20Is, Dhoni played 98 matches, scoring 1,617 runs at a strike rate of 126.13.
CSK's IPL Campaign In Jeopardy
Meanwhile, CSK have been a big letdown in the IPL 2025. The team. The team has been let down by the batters, who have shown no form in the previous matches. Injury to Ruturaj Gaikwad, the best CSK batter, further added to the misery. CSK's chances of reaching the playoffs are all but over, but the team would still be keen to string together a few wins and bow out of the tournament with pride.
The team recently roped in Proteas gun Dewald Brevis, and odds are high he may be included in the playing XI against the SRH. Brevis' inclusion will provide much-needed firepower to the struggling batting order.
