It is not MS Dhoni's cricketing brilliance alone that makes him one of the most loved cricketers in India and around the world. While the Chennai Super Kings captain is indeed one of the best white-ball captains to have ever played the game, his calmness, his personality and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch are some of the non-cricketing reasons behind the stardom he enoys.
And now in a cute video featuring the only captain the world to have claimed all the three ICC trophies in limited-overs cricket has gone viral on social media. In this short clip, Dhoni can be seen wishing his ex-CSK teammate and franchise legend Dwayne Bravo happy birthday.
"All my mum wanted this year for her birthday was a @chennaiipl win. She got the most perfect gift we won‼️🎇. Congratulations to my team and teammates on a great victory. Now help me wish my champion mummy a Happy 65th Birthday. Best wishes lots of love from her champion son and the entire @chennaiipl team🥳🥳🥳❤️," Bravo wrote while sharing the video on his Instagram in which not only Dhoni but even other CSK players can be seen taking turns to wish Bravo's mother on her special day.
Here is the video:
Talking about the Men in Yellow, the franchise won their first home game in IPL 2023 on Monday after facing a defeat in their first match of the season which was an away game against the Gujarat Titans. The four-time winners managed to post a mammoth 217/7 in their 20 overs and in response while Lucknow Super Giants came close, they eventually fell short by 12 runs.
Post the match, Dhoni warned CSK bowlers of controlling the wides and no-balls after Chennai conceded 13 wides and 3 no-balls in the match on Monday.
