Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain, MS Dhoni, was recently seen at a hair salon in Mumbai. The cricket legend last played in IPL 2024 when CSK faced Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a virtual knockout match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
CSK lost the match and were eliminated in the league stage, finishing fifth in the points table. Dhoni contributed a quick 25 (13) but was dismissed in the final over, unable to secure the chase for his team.
A fan posted a video on Instagram providing a recent glimpse of Dhoni, where the iconic wicket-keeper batter is seen entering a hair salon in Mumbai.
“The hero worship in India is unbelievable” – LSG head coach Justin Langer comments on MS Dhoni’s immense popularity during IPL 2024
Former Australian player and current Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer was amazed by MS Dhoni’s immense popularity during IPL 2024, especially during away games for Chennai Super Kings. Speaking on BBC Sport’s podcast “Stumped,” Langer expressed his disbelief at the level of support Dhoni received.
“It’s extraordinary. I heard about it first; then we played them [CSK] twice. They came to Lucknow, and our capacity crowd [in Ekana Stadium] is about 50,000, and honestly, there would have been 48,000 MS Dhoni number seven shirts. I couldn’t believe it, and then we went to CSK, and there wasn’t 98%; there was 100%.”
Langer continued:
“And it’s unbelievable. The hero worship in India is unbelievable. And look, I felt it when we played in India before as a player, particularly with Sachin Tendulkar. Then, when I was coaching with [Australia], Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni, But when you get over there, it’s unbelievable.”
