Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni, also known as ‘Thala‘ to his fans, just achieved something incredible! During a recent IPL match against Delhi Capitals (DC), Dhoni became the first-ever Indian wicketkeeper to smash a whopping 7,000 runs in T20 cricket!
That’s right, 7,000 runs while also keeping wickets behind the stumps – what a feat! Dhoni, even at the age of 42, showed he still has some magic left in his bat. He came in late during the match and went into full beast mode, scoring a crazy 37 runs in just 16 balls! Imagine hitting boundaries and sixes like that – pure power!
While Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ended up losing the match, Dhoni’s fans didn’t seem to mind. They were thrilled to see their hero back in action, especially when he punished bowler Anrich Nortje for 20 runs in the last over.
This isn’t Dhoni’s only record this match, though. He also became the wicketkeeper with the most dismissals in the entire T20 format – talk about a double whammy!
Of course, there are other wicketkeeper-batters out there with even more runs overall, but Dhoni’s achievement is a special one for Indian cricket.
Even though CSK lost this match, they’re still doing well in the IPL tournament, and Dhoni’s record-breaking performance is sure to boost their team spirit. Here’s to hoping ‘Thala’ keeps inspiring us with his batting skills!
The India vs. England Test series isn't just about close matches and big runs anymore. It's become a record-breaker! Not for amazing scores or cliffhanger finishes, but for something even more special. India gave debuts to a whopping five fresh faces! This is a rare occurrence that happened previously only in the 2020-21 series against Australia.
