MS Dhoni always remains one of the craziest figures among the fans. When he reached at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai , roaring welcome sound shook the whole stadium, even Mumbai Indians’ owner, Nita Ambani had to cover her ears as the crowd erupted in deafening cheers for him. The incident happened during CSK’s IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians on March 23. Sitting near the boundary, Ambani watched the game closely. However, when Dhoni walked in to bat at No. 8 in the 19th over after Ravindra Jadeja’s dismissal, the noise became overwhelming. The thunderous reception forced her to block out the sound.

CSK Clinches Victory in a Tight Chase
Chennai Super Kings successfully chased the 156-run target. They secured the win with just five balls to spare and four wickets in hand. Although Dhoni faced only two balls and remained unbeaten on 0 runs, his presence alone electrified the stadium. With this win, CSK kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign on a strong note.
Dhoni’s Everlasting Impact on CSK
Since the IPL began, Dhoni has played a crucial role in CSK’s success. He led the team to five titles, making them one of the most dominant franchises. Before the IPL 2025 mega auction, CSK retained him for ₹4 crore under the ‘uncapped player’ category. While he no longer captains the team—passing the role to Ruturaj Gaikwad in 2024—he remains a vital figure.
Closing in on a Major Record
Dhoni has scored 4,669 runs for CSK, making him the second-highest run-scorer for the franchise. He now needs just 19 more runs to surpass Suresh Raina and become CSK’s leading run-scorer in IPL history. Fans eagerly await this milestone, which will further solidify his legendary status.
