Ahead of the 61st IPL 2024 match between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, both the teams are practising hard to win today’s match in order to get to the playoffs soon.
The match starts at 3:30 pm IST at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Being CSK’s homeground, the fans are definitely going to be more excited to watch their favourite team play.
Ahead of the match, a clip from an interview of Jos Buttler is making rounds and getting viral. Buttler can be seen admiring the fandom MS Dhoni has amassed.
CSK is at the 4th spot on the points table with 12 points in as many matches. However, after a big loss in a match against Gujarat Titans, the team is under a lot of pressure to win their next 2 fixtures.
Jos Buttler on Dhoni’s fandom
The fan following for former Indian team captain and former CSK Captain MS Dhoni is unparalleled. It is safe to say that he is considered godly in terms of cricket, especially amongst the CSK fans.
It has become a subject of pride to hear about the admiration and respect that cricketers like Jos Buttler have for MS Dhoni. Dhoni’s impact on the sport and his enduring popularity among fans and fellow players alike speak volumes about his talent, leadership, and character.
“It’s a privilege to play against MS Dhoni. You ask people what their favourite part of this IPL is, a lot of them will say to watch Dhoni bat. Only he can do that, he’s a massive fan following in India” said Buttler on star sports.
Dhoni Fan invaded the ground
One recent instance of Dhoni fans losing their calm is from the match of GT vs CSK.
CSK lost that match after Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan had both scored centuries of their own for GT. However, that did not deter a fan from coming to the ground only to meet MS Dhoni and fall to his feet.
The fan, a college student has now been arrested by Ahmedabad police on grounds of illegal trespassing.
