New Delhi: At the age of 43, MS Dhoni continues to redefine longevity and heritage in cricket. On Friday night at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, during a significant clash against Chennai Super Kings Sunrisers Hyderabad, Dhoni went out for his 400th T20 match, which became the fourth Indian only after Rohit Sharma (456), Dinesh Karthik (412), and Veerat Kohli (407).
Dhoni’s influence on the smallest format has been very large for India, ranging from lifting the 2007 T20 World Cup to guide CSK from five IPL titles.

Do you believe that MS Dhoni can still be a game-changer for CSK this season?
Although now his peak is not an explosive finisher, Dhoni still respects every time he donates gloves dons.
Their reflex razor remains Sharp, and his strategic seduction continues CSK’s approach in the crunch moments.
Dhoni has resumed the captaincy duties this season, when Ruturaj Gikwad was excluded with the fracture of the elbow.
It marks its first full -time return under the leadership since the unforgettable 2023 IPL final, where CSK won its fifth title. While the 2025 season is not merciful, CSK sits near the table with just two wins in eight matches, Dhoni’s presence still draws the stand and unwavering fan support packed.
In a match which can define the season for both CSK and SRH, Dhoni’s 400th game is more than a statistical – it is a celebration of endurance, development and excellence in T20 cricket. A fitting platform, a mythological career, and a milestone worthy of a standing ovation.
