Mahendra Singh Dhoni continues to script history as the legendary wicketkeeper batter registered a big record during the Indian Premier League match between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni, who stepped down as CSK skipper this season, has been doing a terrific job behind the stumps.
MS Dhoni Made Sensational Record
The legendary wicketkeeper MS Dhoni claimed a sharp catch during the Delhi Capitals clash to achieve the massive milestone. It was the fourth ball of the 11th over and DC opener Prithvi Shaw, who returned to the XI, played the cut shot off Ravindra Jadeja’s delivery and got caught by Dhoni.

Delhi Capitals Scored 191
Delhi Capitals managed to post a formidable total of 191/5 courtesy of half-centuries from Warner and skipper Rishabh Pant (51). It was Pant’s first fifty-plus score since his return to competitive cricket. The wicketkeeper batter looked rusty at the start of the innings but picked pace at the right moment to up the ante for his side.
Rishab Pant Made Comeback
Pant, who came into the tournament after recovering from injuries he suffered during a horrific car accident in December 2022, belted four boundaries and three maximums for his first fifty in 15 months. Matheesha Pathirana was the pick of the bowlers for Chennai Super Kings with three wickets including two toe-crushing yorkers to dismiss Mitchell Marsh and Tristian Stubbs.
