The IPL 2025 season starts on March 22, with RCB taking on KKR in Kolkata. Meanwhile, CSK will kick off their campaign against Mumbai Indians on March 23 in Chennai.
Cricket fans are in for an exciting season as two legendary players, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, are on the brink of achieving historic milestones. These records will further cement their legacy in the game, making this IPL season even more thrilling to watch.
MS Dhoni Set for Historic T20 Milestone
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is gearing up for his return to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. This season could be extra special for the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman as he is on the verge of achieving a unique record.
If Dhoni plays at least nine matches, he will become the first cricketer to feature in 400 T20s, 350 ODIs, and 50 Test matches—a feat no player has accomplished before.
Currently, he has played 391 T20s, 350 ODIs, and 90 Test matches. While many players have reached 400 T20 games, none have done so while also playing a significant number of ODIs and Tests.
CSK’s ninth match of the season, set against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 25 in Chennai, could be the historic game where Dhoni reaches this milestone. Fans will be eagerly watching as he aims to etch his name in the record books once again.
Virat Kohli Nears Another Batting Milestone
Virat Kohli, the backbone of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), is on the verge of adding another record to his name. Virat Kohli, the star batter, has played 399 T20 matches and is on the verge of a major milestone. He will become the third Indian to reach 400 T20 games when RCB faces Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2025 season opener on March 22 at Eden Gardens. Fans are excited to witness this historic moment in his career.
But that’s not all—Kohli is just one century away from becoming the first Indian batter to score 10 T20 hundreds. With his incredible consistency and hunger for records, fans will be eagerly watching to see if he can achieve this historic feat.
Virat Kohli currently has nine T20 centuries—eight in franchise leagues and one in international cricket. His first IPL hundred came in 2016, and if he scores another in the 2025 season, he will make history as the first Indian batter with 10 T20 centuries. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if he can achieve this milestone and further solidify his legacy in the game.
