In a landmark moment during the IPL 2025 clash between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings, MS Dhoni etched his name into the record books by becoming the first wicketkeeper in IPL history to complete 150 catches. The historic catch came in the 8th over of PBKS’ innings when Nehal Wadhera mistimed a shot off Ravichandran Ashwin and Dhoni comfortably took the catch behind the stumps. With this feat, Dhoni surpassed Dinesh Karthik, who sits second on the all-time list with 137 catches.

Priyansh Arya’s Blazing Century Propels PBKS to a Big Total

In the same match, Punjab Kings’ young opener Priyansh Arya stole the spotlight with a sensational maiden IPL hundred. A standout talent from the Delhi Premier League, Arya smashed 103 runs off just 42 deliveries, peppered with 7 boundaries and 9 sixes. His hundred came off only 39 balls, making it the fifth-fastest century in IPL history—a list still topped by Chris Gayle’s 30-ball ton in 2013.

Supporting Arya’s explosive knock, Shashank Singh remained unbeaten on 52 from 36 balls, while Marco Jansen chipped in with a quickfire 34* off 19 towards the death overs, helping PBKS post a formidable 219/6.

On the bowling front for CSK, Khaleel Ahmed and Ravichandran Ashwin both claimed two wickets, though the rest of the attack struggled to contain the onslaught.
