MS Dhoni, the iconic former Indian captain, continues to surprise fans on and off the field. During the recent IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, Suresh Raina, Dhoni’s former teammate, revealed an unexpected detail about Dhoni’s viewing habits.
Raina Catches Up with Dhoni, Reveals His Love for Bhojpuri Commentary
Raina had the opportunity to chat with Dhoni during the CSK vs. MI clash at Wankhede Stadium. Amidst Dhoni’s impressive season with the bat and gloves, Raina shared a specific detail from their conversation. He disclosed that Dhoni has been enjoying the Bhojpuri commentary offered by Jio Cinema during the IPL.
The inclusion of Bhojpuri commentary, introduced by Jio Cinema in 2023, has been a well-received addition for fans across India. Dhoni’s appreciation for this commentary style highlights the initiative’s success in reaching a wider audience.
Raina Shares Dhoni’s Exact Words
Speaking on Jio Cinema, Raina revealed Dhoni’s exact words about the Bhojpuri commentary: “‘Bahut hi gajabe commentary kar rahe Bhojpuriya me’ (They’re doing a fantastic commentary in Bhojpuri),” Dhoni had told Raina. Raina jokingly responded by suggesting Haryanvi commentary as another interesting option.
This revelation came after footage was shown where Raina assisted Dhoni in navigating the Wankhede Stadium steps. Dhoni, recovering from knee surgery before the IPL, was visibly uncomfortable due to post-match pain. The right knee was taped to provide additional support.
Dhoni’s Impressive Batting Form Continues
Despite the knee issue, Dhoni has displayed impressive batting form throughout the IPL. He smashed an unbeaten 37 off just 16 balls against the Delhi Capitals in Vizag. In the recent match against Mumbai Indians, he dominated the final over against Hardik Pandya, scoring 20 runs with three sixes in just four balls. Overall, Dhoni boasts a remarkable strike rate of 236, having scored 59 runs from only 25 deliveries.
This revelation about Dhoni’s enjoyment of Bhojpuri commentary adds another layer to the cricket legend’s persona. It showcases his ability to connect with fans beyond the traditional cricketing world and his willingness to embrace new experiences. While his on-field dominance continues, Dhoni proves to be an ever-evolving figure, captivating fans both on and off the pitch.
