Saachi Baat Special
MS Dhoni turns 43 today. Celebrations have already begun, he cut a cake on Saturday and shared photos of himself with wife Sakshi. As many cricketers celebrate the wedding function of Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant, cricketers have landed for the function in Mumbai.
Why is Dhoni still important and why are people still celebrating his birthday? After all, he retired from international cricket many summer ago. The magic of Dhoni is his simplicity, being still relevant and admiring all the performers who won the World Cup in Barbados eight days ago.
Dhoni has defied age, Dhoni has defied ages of traditional views, he remains a captain still, for many players. That is the kind of respect he commands at CSK – Chennai Super Kings – in the IPL. This year, CSK did not do well and some fans have said Dhoni is past prime.
If you had looked at his wicket-keeping, he looked good in IPL 2024. Maybe, his batting is not as potent as before. But then, can icons be the same as they were two decades ago! Certainly not, and Dhoni knows it best. As a winning captain of two big trophies, the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ODI World Cup in 2011, Dhoni will be special all his life.
He is still sought after as a cricketer and his social media reach and brand value are very high. He poses in several advertisements and no matter what, his is a face which people love. So, please celebrate the legend’s birthday. Few thoughts on Dhoni the superstar. Well past prime in terms of modern cricket in the international arena, MSD prepares for the IPL, after year. He may have, officially, handed over captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad but Dhoni still commands respect from his team owners.
Unless you have been to an IPL match in Chennai, you will not understand what is the magic of King Dhoni, ‘Thala” as they address him in Tamil. Happy birthday champion.
