New Delhi: Friday’s IPL 2025 clash between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is more than just a must-win game for both sides—it’s a landmark occasion for one of the most celebrated icons in world cricket.
CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will walk out for his 400th T20 match—a staggering milestone that speaks volumes of his longevity, leadership, and legacy in the shortest format of the game.
From leading India to the inaugural T20 World Cup title in 2007 to five IO CSK to multiple IPL titles, Dhoni has left an indelible mark on cricket fans across the globe.
Tonight’s game is crucial for both CSK and SRH, with both teams sitting at the bottom of the points table, having won just 2 of their 8 matches. While SRH are 9th, CSK find themselves in unfamiliar territory—last place. The road to the playoffs looks steep, but for CSK, a win on Dhoni’s milestone night could spark a late-season resurgence.
SRH will be desperate too, knowing that a loss today could end their slim playoff hopes. Expect a tightly contested match with a charged-up Chepauk crowd rallying behind their Thala.
