Former legendary Indian skipper MS Dhoni enjoys a huge fan following off the field and on social media even after three years of his retirement from international cricket. Dhoni hung his boots at the highest level of the game three years back in the year 2020. Since then, he is active in the Indian Premier League only.
Although the former skipper is not active in international cricket, his devoted fans never miss any chance to take a glance at their iconic and favourite cricketing star, be it any viral photo of him or getting spotted anywhere in his car or his bike. Recently, a photo of MS Dhoni from a gym session is making rounds on social media, and the fans were impressed with his fitness even at the age of 42.
MS Dhoni became the most successful skipper after winning IPL 2023
Speaking of cricket, CSK clinched the title of IPL 2023 under Dhoni’s captaincy and it was their fifth title in the history of the tournament since its inception 15 years back in the year 2008. Notably, CSK also joined the Mumbai Indians to jointly become the most successful team of the tournament equaling their five IPL titles.
Apart from that, skipper MS Dhoni also joined MI skipper Rohit Sharma to become the most successful skipper in the Indian Premier League’s history of 16 seasons. The 42-year-old was also seen struggling with a knee injury throughout the entire 16th edition of the tournament. He was also wearing the kneecap on a couple of occasions.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan had also spoken about Dhoni’s injury and the latter’s response to it while playing for his side. "Till the final, he never complained about his knee to anybody. Though everyone knew, and you would've seen him struggling while running, he never complained even once. After the final, he said, 'Okay, I'll have surgery'. He's finished his surgery, he's quite happy, he's recovering," said Kasi Viswanathan during an interview with ESPNcricinfo.
Coming back to Dhoni’s recent viral pictures, the fans poured out their love and praise on him and came up with a lot of interesting reactions on social media.
Here’s how fans reacted:
