Fri Apr 25 14:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Dhoni Reaches 400 T20 Milestone as SRH Wins Toss Against CSK

**Chennai, April 25, 2025** – MS Dhoni achieved a significant milestone today as he played his 400th T20 match, becoming only the fourth Indian cricketer to reach this landmark. The match, the 43rd encounter of IPL 2025, saw Chennai Super Kings (CSK) facing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

SRH captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bowl first, citing a dry pitch. Dhoni, while stating he would have also chosen to bowl first due to the potential impact of dew, emphasized the importance of enjoying the game rather than solely focusing on the result. He also expressed some uncertainty about the pitch, despite the groundsman’s efforts.

CSK made two changes to their lineup, with Dewald Brevis and Deepak Hooda replacing Rachin Ravindra and Vijay Shankar.

Dhoni joins Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, and Virat Kohli in the elite club of Indian cricketers with 400 or more T20 matches. While West Indies’ Kieron Pollard leads the overall list with 695 matches, Dhoni’s achievement underlines his enduring presence in the sport. The complete playing XIs for both teams were as follows:

**Chennai Super Kings:** Sheikh Rashid, Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Deepak Hooda, Noor Ahmad, Khalil Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana.

**Sunrisers Hyderabad:** Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ankit Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (c), Jishan Ansari, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Shami.
