Watch: Wankhede Stadium showers love on MS Dhoni

As fun and exciting as it is to watch your favourite team on television with friends and family, nothing compares to the excitement and joy of going to a game and seeing your favourite team or superhero from close quarters.

You rarely hear the Wankhede Stadium scream at the top of its voice when an opposition captain or an opposing team absolutely decimates Mumbai Indians. Wherever Chennai Super Kings go, or instead Mahendra Singh Dhoni goes, he makes himself heard.

What’s it like when Dhoni arrives? Kids in balconies jump around like it’s Christmas Eve. And for those two-three minutes, even the people on the streets feel like they are a part of something special.

What does MS refer to? Magic and Swagger? Probably. Probably not.

Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings. Indian El Clasico. It just does not get better than that. What’s an El Clasico without drama? Ajinkya Rahane broke the internet, notching up the fastest fifty of the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League.

Rahane stood still, reacted to the ball coming down, kept his shape with zero rash shots and drove CSK home. Normally, after all this, one expects Wankhede to go ‘pin drop silence,’ but something special was on the menu.

Fans at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai went hammer and tongs to shower love on their 2011 World Cup hero and the current Chennai Super Kings skipper. Electric, scintillating, spine-tingling and whatnot?

‘We want Dhoni; we want Dhoni’ chants set the stage on fire while MS Dhoni was seen padded up before Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu sealed the deal for the Super Kings in the Indian El Clasico.
