IPL 2024: MS Dhoni And 16 Years Long Wait, Will History Change in IPL 2024? IPL 2024 is all set to see veterans like MS Dhoni grace the field once again. Dhoni, leading the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since 2008, holds the record for most matches played in the league’s history – a whopping 250! He’s also amassed over 5,000 runs.
An Unbeaten Knock Against RCB in 2019:-
But here’s a stat that might surprise you: Dhoni has never scored a century in the IPL! Despite 24 fifties and numerous match-winning knocks under pressure, a hundred has eluded him. His highest score remains 84, an unbeaten knock against RCB in 2019.

One reason for this could be his batting position. Dhoni has primarily batted in the lower middle order throughout his IPL career, often coming in at number 5 or lower. Especially after the 2021 season, his appearances higher up the order have been limited. IPL 2023 saw him score only 104 runs in 16 matches.
He’s Led CSK To 5 IPL Titles:-
250 matches and 16 years without a century raise questions about Dhoni’s batting prowess. However, his reputation as a finisher is undeniable. He’s led CSK to 5 IPL titles, making the lack of a century somewhat inconsequential.
