Hello friends, today I am going to talk about MS Dhoni, and this article is completely based on how MS Dhoni has performed in the IPL.

If you are interested in MS Dhoni’s performance, then please read this article till the end. I hope you will really enjoy it. Watching MS Dhoni’s performance always feels special because our Mahi bhai has played brilliantly in the past and is still performing amazingly.

No matter which match it is, if the situation comes where the team needs to win and MS Dhoni is at the crease, then the chances of victory become 99.99%.

This is because Mahi bhai has created such an atmosphere that everyone believes —

“Mahi hai to mumkin hai.”

Talking about the IPL, I am presenting data from 2008 to 2025 in front of you. When the IPL 2026 starts and ends, I will personally update the 2026 data as well.

Right now, this article discusses MS Dhoni’s performance from 2008 to 2025. So let’s take a look at how MS Dhoni has performed throughout his IPL career.

First of all, let’s talk about matches. MS Dhoni has played a total of 278 IPL matches. Out of these, he has batted in 242 innings and has scored a total of 5,439 runs.

This itself shows how brilliant MS Dhoni’s performance has been. Now let’s see how many times he remained not out while batting. Yes, MS Dhoni has remained not out 100 times in his IPL career, which is a massive achievement on its own.

Do you know what MS Dhoni’s highest IPL score is? His highest score is 84* (not out). One important thing to notice here is that MS Dhoni usually comes to bat at number 4, 5, or 6, yet his highest score is 84 not out. Just imagine how amazing a player our Mahi bhai is.

His batting average is 38.30 and his strike rate is 137.45. These numbers are not small at all. By looking at his average and strike rate, you can easily understand how dangerous a player MS Dhoni is. He has the ability to turn even a losing match into a winning one.

If we talk about centuries, MS Dhoni has not scored a hundred in the IPL yet. As mentioned earlier, his highest score is 84*. Even though he bats lower down the order, this score is still outstanding. Along with this, he has maintained an excellent strike rate and average throughout his career.

Talking about half-centuries, MS Dhoni has scored 24 fifties in the IPL.

Do you know how many boundaries MS Dhoni has hit in his IPL career from 2008 to 2025? He has smashed 375 fours and 264 sixes so far.

His longest six was 110 meters, which he hit in a match between CSK vs RCB. Just imagine — a 110-meter six is not an ordinary hit. This clearly shows how powerful and legendary MS Dhoni is.

Now if we talk about his wicketkeeping performance in the IPL, MS Dhoni has taken 158 catches in his career. As we all know, he is one of the world’s best wicketkeepers. He has also completed 47 stumpings, which is an incredible record.

158 catches and 47 stumpings — no wonder everyone loves MS Dhoni.

The best thing about MS Dhoni is his captaincy. Wherever he becomes the captain, the story almost ends there because his leadership has the power to bring even the strongest teams to their knees.

He always knows which bowler to use and at what moment. The most special thing about him is that he stays calm in every situation. That is why he is called “Captain Cool.” He takes decisions with a cool mind and does everything possible to win the match — and most of the time, he actually does it.

In the end, I just want to say one thing: many captains have come and gone, but there will hardly ever be another captain like MS Dhoni. Sorry, I was talking about the IPL, but it just came out naturally because MS Dhoni is such a legendary player. Even calling him a “great player” feels too small for someone like him.
