IPL 2025: MS Dhoni Achieves Historic 1st After CSK's Win vs LSG
Skipper MS Dhoni's masterclass brought an end to Chennai's lean patch as the Super Kings stamped their authority with an invaluable five-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2025 match on Monday.
MS Dhoni stayed unbeaten on 26 from 11 deliveries, with four boundaries and a six while Shivam Dube struck 43* from 37 deliveries as CSK chased down 167 in the final over with three balls to spare.
Courtesy of his fireworks at the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Dhoni was named the Player of the Match.
Though the 'Thala' didn't quite agree with the decision of the organisers, the award helped him shatter an all-time record in IPL history.
Thanks to the POTM honour, Dhoni has become the oldest player in the T20 league's history to be given the award, at the age of 43 years and 280 days.
He broke an 11-year-old record in the process, surpassing Pravin Tambe (42 years) to take the No. 1 spot.
