Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni turns 42 today. Known for his calm temperament under pressure, Dhoni has been celebrated by fans and dubbed ‘Captain Cool’. He remains the only captain in world cricket to have won all three ICC white-ball trophies – ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy.
Dhoni has recently guided the Chennai Super King (CSK) to get a record-equalling fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title, defending champions Gujarat Titans in the final in Ahmedabad.
Apart from Dhoni, veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also played a pivotal role in CSK equalling the Mumbai Indians’ record of IPL titles. His birthday wish for Dhoni is breaking the internet today.
Taking to Twitter, Jadeja said, “My go to man since 2009 to till date and forever. Wishing you a very happy birthday mahi bhai.see u soon in yellow #respect.”
In IPL 2023, everything went well for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) except for the claimed rift between skipper MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja. The air was cleared as Ravindra Jadeja was seen sharing happy moments with MS Dhoni after his winning shot in the IPL 2023 Finals and now CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan had talked about the rumours.
The claims of the rift started after MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja were seen arguing about something on the field. During that time Ravindra Jadeja shared some cryptic tweets on ‘Karma’, which were also retweeted by his wife.
“As far as Jadeja is concerned, he bowled superbly. While batting, our line-up of Ruturaj, Conway, Moeen, and Rahane, with the results, whenever he [Jadeja] went in to bat, he had 5-10 balls left. In such situations, it can or can’t click sometimes. But the thing is he also knew Dhoni was to come in next, and he himself would get just 2-3 balls sometimes,” said Kasi Viswanathan.
“In such situations whenever he went in, the crowd used to welcome Dhoni. In a way, he may have felt hurt. Any player for that matter may have had that pressure. But he didn’t complain about it even though he put out a tweet,” he added.
On another occasion, he shared a picture of receiving the ‘Upstox Most Valuable Player’ award said that ‘Even Upsox knows, but not some fans.’
