MS Dhoni Virat Kohli, to follow the footsteps of Rohit Sharma, is ready to complete a huge milestone at CSK vs SRH

India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) veteran MS Dhoni will play 400th T20 of his career during the Indian Premier League (IPL) conflict against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chepack Stadium on Friday. Dhoni’s struggling CSK, sitting down with just two wins in eight matches, will take SRH, placed equally in a bad position in the ninth place, with six defeats in his eight matches at Chepack Stadium on Friday. The losers will have to settle for the rising risk of wooden spoon and elimination.

Dhoni will become the 24th player and the only fourth Indian after Virat Kohli (407), Dinesh Karthik (412) and Rohit Sharma to complete a quadruple century of matches in T20 cricket.

In 399 matches, so far, for India, Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Super Junts and his domestic side of Jharkhand, Dhoni has scored 7,566 runs at an average of 38.02, with 28 fifties and best score 84*. He has also completed 318 dismissal in these matches.

Dhoni has also won the T20 World Cup for India in 2007, with five IPL titles with CSK and two Champions League T20 titles as well as yellow in men.

The most matches in T20 are played by West Indies icon Kieron Pollard (695), followed by West Indies veteran Dwayne Bravo (582) and Pakistan Batter Shoaib Malik (557).

Dhoni is also the sixth highest run-run-goldter in IPL history, 5,377 runs in 272 matches and 237 innings with an average of 38.96 with 24 fifty. His best score is 84*.

In eight matches this season, Dhoni has served as a finisher, scoring 134 runs in an average of 33.50 innings on an average, which is a strike rate of 152.27 and the best score of 30*.
