Dhoni will have to play for a record
MS Dhoni is far away from becoming the oldest player in IPL history. But if they play for one more year, then the proficient of the old Indian player will definitely break the record of copper. If Dhoni plays in IPL 2026, then he will be around 44 years 250 days old. But at the moment, his name comes only after Brad Hog and Praveen copper in the list of aged players.
