While the moment sparked admiration for Dhoni, it also led to some trolling of Mukesh Chaudhary online, with critics questioning the bowler’s effectiveness. However, the focus largely remains on Dhoni’s enduring skill and value to the team, even in the twilight of his career.
Over the years, Dhoni has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players in IPL history. In 278 matches between 2008 and 2025, he has amassed 5,439 runs, making him the sixth-highest run-scorer in the tournament. Notably, he holds the record for the most runs scored in death overs (2,936), underlining his reputation as one of the finest finishers the game has seen.
