After Cristiano Ronaldo's squad Al-Nassr finished fourth among the most popular Asian sports teams in April 2023, fans started trolling the player on Twitter. The IPL team Chennai Super Kings topped the rankings, much to the pleasure of MS Dhoni supporters.

After a challenging season's start in the Premier League, Ronaldo was signed by Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League in January. The Portuguese star lost his place in the starting lineup after a dispute with Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United.

This was evident in a Deportes & Finanzas ranking list on Twitter. With 3.5 million Twitter engagements throughout the month of April, Al-Nassr came in fourth place in Asia. Royal Challengers Bangalore (4,85 million) and Rajasthan Royals (3.55 million) finished second and third in the list, respectively. Mumbai Indians (2,31 million) completed the top five positions.

IPL 2023 could be MS Dhoni's final IPL season

With 9,97 million interactions, MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings took the top spot, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's popularity. Twitter users responded and mocked the Real Madrid legend. Notably, the ongoing IPL 2023 could be MS Dhoni's last IPL. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has effectively turned himself into a strong lower-order batter for the Chennai Super Kings, his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, four years after his departure from international cricket.

MS Dhoni remained the most expensive player in the 2008 debut season. After 15 years, he is still the Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) most valued player, embodying all that is exciting and finest about the T20 franchise league itself.

Even in Chennai, a city where millions of people idolise and celebrate politicians and movie stars, Dhoni stands out, especially during the brief IPL season. The bond between the CSK and its supporters is unique, and they have the embodiment of the CSK in Dhoni. He still possesses incredible talent and leads with uncommon insight. No game is lost as long as the tall wicketkeeper-captain is on the field.

Here's how fans reacted to CSK's unique achievement:
