Let’s take a look at some of the milestones that could be achieved during this much-anticipated clash:
MS Dhoni needs three maximums to reach 350 T20 sixes
One of the most formidable figures in T20 cricket, MS Dhoni is just three sixes away from achieving the remarkable milestone of 350 sixes in T20 cricket. Having played 401 matches in his illustrious career, Dhoni has already struck 347 maximums. Known for his explosive hitting, especially in the death overs, the CSK captain could etch his name further into the record books with this achievement.
MS Dhoni four stumpings away to complete 50 stumpings in IPL
The legendary wicketkeeper-batter is also on the verge of another record, his 50th stumping in IPL history. With 46 stumpings to his name across his 18-year IPL career, Dhoni is just four stumpings away from becoming the first player in the league’s history to reach this milestone. A truly iconic figure in the IPL, he has achieved this feat while playing for CSK and the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiants.

Ravindra Jadeja, the seasoned left-arm spinner, is on the cusp of taking his 150th wicket for CSK in T20 cricket. Having represented the franchise in 196 matches, Jadeja has picked up 149 wickets. With his ability to control the game in the middle overs, it’s only a matter of time before he achieves this milestone, further solidifying his legacy as one of CSK’s greatest all-rounders.
Sam Curran needs eight runs to cross 1000 IPL runs
English all-rounder Sam Curran, who has played for both CSK and Punjab Kings, is just eight runs shy of completing 1,000 runs in the IPL.

He’s poised to achieve this feat and continue to add to his legendary career.
Phil Salt needs three maximums to reach 50 sixes in IPL
RCB’s opening batter Phil Salt has impressed with his aggressive approach in the IPL. Having struck 47 sixes in just 30 matches, Salt is just three maximums away from completing 50 sixes in the tournament.
