MS Dhoni stands as one of the greatest icons in the cricketing world, revered not only by fans but also idolized by some of his teammates.
One such touching example was witnessed in the recently concluded IPL 2024 game between CSK and GT, where CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana respectfully touched MS Dhoni’s feet before beginning his bowling spell. It was Pathirana’s first match of the season, and Dhoni graciously blessed him.
What greater testament to Dhoni’s stature could be witnessed live on television than seeing one of the greatest Indian players being idolized by his younger teammates?

Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, CSK has consistently remained one of the most formidable sides in the history of the IPL. Often referred to as the favorite son of Chennai, Dhoni led CSK to a record-equalling fifth IPL victory in 2023. Although he relinquished his captaincy ahead of the 2024 season, with Ruturaj Gaikwad now leading the side, Dhoni still garners the loudest cheers whenever his face appears on the TV screen.
