MS Dhoni added yet another milestone to his name as he became the first captain to lead in 300 T20 matches on Friday when he stepped into the field with his Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2021 finals vs Kolkata Knight Riders.
Darren Sammy is second in the list with 208 matches.
This is also the ninth IPL final for Dhoni as a CSK leader.
“We started T20 in around 2005-06 and most of the games have been franchise cricket and in the last five years, there have been a lot of T20 games in international cricket as well,” said the former India skipper at the toss about his historic feat.
The 40-year-old has led CSK to three IPL titles in 2010, 2011 and 2018.
Apart from IPL, he lifted the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup as India captain in 2007.
The Dhoni-led team had first won the IPL title in 2010 before winning it twice in the next decade — 2011 and 2018.
