This fan of MS Dhoni “broke up” with his girlfriend, and Captain Cool is the reason behind it all

The fervor for former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni among supporters is uncontrollable. Even after quitting cricket for the international circuit, his following is unrivaled. Here is evidence that “Thala” supporters will go above and beyond out of pure love. An odd statement grabbed everyone’s attention during Sunday’s live broadcast of the Chennai Super Kings’ IPL match versus Sunrisers Hyderabad at MA Chidambaram Stadium. The reason for a cricket player’s fan breaking up with his fiancée is entirely related to MS Dhoni.

Many were both shocked and surprised by the fan’s claim that CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad had lost his wicket. Following Gaikwad’s dismissal, MS Dhoni hit the turf. The camera moved to the fan holding a banner as soon as he entered. “Broke up with my GF because her name doesn’t have seven letters,” the poster said. He brought up Dhoni’s number seven shirt, using it as justification for ending things with his fiancée.

The fan’s banner sparked a wave of responses from internet users. One fan said, “Hey. A distinct fan following exists for MSD. Someone another added, “Dhoni and his fans are the coolest.” “Dhoni and his fans are the coolest,” someone said in response to the post.

The new popular post is related to the ‘Thala for a cause’ movement that gained traction online the previous year in the wake of India’s 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Final defeat against Australia. Fans are starting to associate different meanings with the number 7.

In addition to the enthusiasts, a number of businesses have joined the trend by getting on board. Blinkit has already shared a post in order to attain the seven-count. “Blinkit has seven letters, the message is clear,” it said. Thala has a purpose.

Embracing the trend, Swiggy concentrated on using various puns related to food. The company typed, “Thali for a reason,” in place of the word “thala,” in a post on thali.

This season, MS Dhoni has participated in nine matches across multiple innings and amassed 96 runs with a strike average of 259.46.
