MS Dhoni is the heartthrob of cricket lovers in India. But in Chennai, the former captain of the Indian cricket team has received a special status. He is called “tala” or leader. Dhoni’s romance with Chennai grew over the years as Chennai Super Kings became one of the most successful teams in the IPL under his captaincy. From nine to ninety years old, Dhoni is adored by everyone in Chennai. According to several reports, IPL 2023 could be Dhoni’s last and it still continues to touch lives.

Dhoni, 41, recently met with the mother-in-law of BJP leader Khushbu Sundar. The politician described the wonderful meeting on social media.

“Heroes are not made, they are born. Dhoni proves it. I am at a loss for words for our CSK #Thala @msdhoni for his warmth and hospitality. Mahi, you have added many years of good health and happiness to her life. My pranama to you for this. My thanks to @ChennaiIPL for making this possible. CSK kku whistle podu!!” Khushbu Sundar tweeted.

Heroes are not made, they are born. Doni proves it. I have no words for our CSK #Tala @msdhoni for his warmth and hospitality. He met my mother-in-law who, at 88, worships Dhoni and cannot see beyond him. Mahi, you have added many years of good health and happiness to her… pic.twitter.com/darszdzb62

ex-CSK star Kedar Jadhav believes that Ruthuraj Gaikwad should become M.S. Dhoni as franchise captain as goaltender slugger ends his IPL career. IPL 2023 is expected to be Dhoni’s final season as a player in the cash-rich tournament. Jadhav also mentioned Ben Stokes as a potential CSK captain but added that the England star needs to play very well this season to continue to challenge for the role.

“I think Ruthuraj Gaikwad could have been CSK captain after MS Dhoni. Ben Stokes is also another potential captain along with Ravindra Jadea. But for that, Stokes needs to play really well for CSK this year. Accessibility is another matter. Gaikwad is the best option for CSK captain after MS Dhoni,” said Kedar Jadhav, IPL commentator and JioCinema expert.

CSK has signed Stokes for a whopping Rs 16.25 crore at IPL 2023 auctions. On the other hand, Ruthurai Gaikwad has been part of the CSK team since 2019.
