Before the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year, MS Dhoni left the leadership of Chennai Super Kings. As a result, Dhoni was replaced by star all-rounder Rabindra Jadeja. Fans were not satisfied with this decision. Several team cricketers were also surprised, and a section of fans was reluctant to accept Jadeja instead of Dhoni.
Dhoni is one of the biggest stars of Indian cricket. However, the star-like nature is not very visible to him. Dhoni responded to the fans’ call effortlessly, and he blended in easily with everyone. The great mentality of the Chennai captain towards the fans was seen once again. Dhoni has been praised for replying to a fan’s letter.
During this year’s IPL, a fan sent a framed letter to the Chennai captain. Dhoni did not just leave after reading that letter. He wrote about it, “Great writing, good luck.” Dhoni also signed under the text. The Chennai authorities made the former Indian captain’s generosity towards the fans’ public.
The fans could not accept that Dhoni left the leadership before the start of this IPL. He wrote a letter to Dhoni asking him to be the captain. Meanwhile, after a string of failures, Jadeja was removed, and Dhoni was made the captain of Chennai again. After that, CSK released the emotional letter of that fan.
Meanwhile, Chennai has spent the worst time in this year’s IPL, and the team that won the second-highest four-time title of the tournament has been eliminated from the group stage this time. However, the letter from the fan is proof that Dhoni’s popularity has not diminished even though he did not perform as expected.
Many people think that Dhoni has played the last IPL in his cricket career. However, cricket legends like Gavaskar think Dhoni will be seen in the next season. If Dhoni doesn’t play in future, then who will be the captain of Chennai? It is also being discussed.
