Fans’ passion and adoration for the late great MS Dhoni know no bounds. Dhoni has dominated the hearts of cricket fans worldwide for years despite retiring from international play. He is a legendary character in the sport, both on and off the pitch. The former captain of the Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni, was jokingly referred to as “Thala” (big brother) in a FIFA World Cup post.
‘Thala for a reason’ was written under a snapshot of Portugal’s top player, Cristiano Ronaldo, on the FIFA World Cup’s official Instagram account. Fans of Dhoni went crazy on social media shortly after reading the text, demonstrating the legend’s enduring popularity outside of cricket.
