'I'm Grateful To My Fans': MS Dhoni Reacts To Viral Social Media Trend 'Thala For A Reason' - WATCH

In a viral social media video, MS Dhoni mentioned that he was unaware of the 'Thala For A Reason' trend and expressed his gratitude to his fans for supporting him on social media.

Former Team India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni recently attended an event and several videos have gone viral of him speaking on various topics. Interestingly, Dhoni responded to the social media trend ‘Thala For A Reason,’ which was started by his fans. Dhoni, one of the biggest sports figures in the world, let alone India, is celebrated with the same vigour after his retirement from international cricket as he was celebrated back when he used to don the Team India blue jersey.

‘Thala for a reason’ is more than just a phrase, it's a deep emotion for MS Dhoni's fans. Known as 'Thala,' meaning 'leader' in Tamil, Dhoni has inspired a strong following in Chennai and beyond, thanks to his stint as CSK captain, and the emotional bond he's formed with his fans is beyond any numbers could define.

I Am Grateful To My Fans: MS Dhoni

In a viral social media video from what seems like a recent event, MS Dhoni mentioned that he was unaware of the trend and expressed his gratitude to his fans for supporting him on social media.

"Even I got to know about this via Instagram. So, I'm grateful for my fans as I don't have to defend myself on social media. Whenever I needed to defend my fans do it. Whenever needed my fans praise me. So I'm not required to do anything I guess so this was part of this too." Dhoni said.

"I'm grateful to my fans. Even though I'm not very active social media user, still they wait for me to post and they just love it." he added.
