Ram Babu, an ardent fan of former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, has revealed the enduring bond between the two. Despite Dhoni’s retirement from international cricket, he continues to support Babu, providing him with match passes to various matches across India.
Babu, known for his iconic T-shirt adorned with the Indian tricolour and Dhoni’s jersey number 7, shared how Dhoni personally ensures he receives match passes. “I take Dhoni’s name to the stadium, and the passes I’ve been receiving so far are all arranged by Dhoni sir,” Babu disclosed in a viral video.
This heartwarming gesture highlights Dhoni’s humility and appreciation for his fans. Babu expressed his unwavering support for the Indian team and his intention to continue chanting Dhoni’s name at matches, even if he no longer plays for the country.
Meanwhile, Dhoni’s future with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) remains uncertain ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. With five IPL titles under his belt, Dhoni’s IPL future will significantly impact CSK’s strategy for the upcoming season.
Interestingly, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced a new rule allowing players who have not represented India for over five years to be classified as ‘uncapped’. This enables CSK to retain Dhoni for a base price of ₹4 crore, giving hope to fans who wish to see him play for the franchise once more.
Whether Dhoni plays the IPL or not, his legacy extends far beyond the cricket field. His unwavering support for his fans and his humility have made him an icon not only in India but worldwide.
