MS Dhoni Fan Postpones Daughters’ School Fees and Spends Rs. 64000 to Watch CSK Play in the 2024 IPL

Delhi, New Delhi: MS Dhoni is the cricket player with the most devoted fans; his passion for the game never fails to reach new heights. Even though Dhoni, 42, will likely play in his last IPL season, the fan base’s adoration for the two-time World Cup-winning Indian hero is unrivalled. A guy, who was presumably in his forties, recently claimed to have paid an astounding Rs 64000 for tickets to see his hero play against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chepauk stadium. The footage of him not paying his three children’s school fees went viral on social media.

In the video, the guy and his three daughters—all of whom were sporting CSK jerseys—came to see Dhoni play. “I purchased the tickets in black since I didn’t get them. The whole amount was Rs. 64,000. I still haven’t paid my school fees. However, we just wanted to see MS Dhoni once,” the guy said. India.com was unable to verify the veracity of his claims, however.

His sacrifice was not in vain, however, as CSK easily overcame KKR that day to record their third victory in five games. The man’s daughter also expressed gratitude to her father for all of his efforts in keeping track of the game’s wickets. “My father put in a lot of effort to get these tickets. When Dhoni arrived to play, we were overjoyed,” the girl said.

Just one day before the IPL 2024 started, Dhoni, who guided CSK to their sixth IPL championship the previous year, gave the batting reins to youthful Ruturaj Gaikwad. Before the 2024 Indian Premier League season begins, MS Dhoni has given Ruturaj Gaikwad the leadership of the Chennai Super Kings. Ruturaj has been a key member of the Chennai Super Kings since 2019 and has participated in 52 IPL games during that time, the team said.

In terms of his captaincy, Gaikwad has had a positive experience so far. When the Men in Blue won a gold medal at the Asian Games in 2023, he was also captain of India.
