At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the scene was set for a match between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 6, 2023 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. While MI entered this matchup with two straight victories, CSK lost their last three games. Fans and the teams were, therefore, in for an exciting clash.
Now, a WWE legend, John Cena, published a message on his official Instagram account before the fight. He posted a picture of MS Dhoni striking his signature "You can't see me" posture during a match of the current IPL. When they saw it, supporters were in a frenzy and posted their opinions on social media.
John Cena had earlier posted Virat Kohli on Instagram
But that wasn't the first time John Cena had posted a post about Indian superstars Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. Dhoni, the captain of CSK, won the toss and requested that Mumbai bat first in the match against MI. At the toss, he said: "We'll bowl first. A bit of rain is expected; that's one reason; it looks like a good wicket, and we want them to set a target for us. Every individual has worked well, everyone can show some attention on the field, we've improved every game, and there have been some slip-ups, but we need to finish well. We're playing with the same squad."
While Rohit Sharma said: "Going pretty well, had a couple of good games, just about continuing the momentum. We have some worries, but we've started to do well. It's been challenging to find the right players and the right combinations. We know our strengths and the players who can fit in. Two changes for us β Kumar Kartikeya is OUT, a debut for Raghav Goyal. Tilak Varma is ill; he's replaced by Tristan Stubbs." However, fans were taken aback when Cameron Green walked out to open with Ishan Kishan rather than Rohit.
Here is how fans reacted to John Cena's post:
