Dhoni’s return as CSK captain came midway through IPL 2025 after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out due to an elbow injury. Dhoni's influence as a captain is evident in his numerous achievements, both in IPL and international cricket.
In T20 internationals, Dhoni featured in 98 matches, scoring 1,617 runs at an average of 37.6. He retired from international cricket in 2020. Under his leadership, India won the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, further cementing his legacy as one of the most successful T20 players in history.
