It is anticipated that the renowned MS Dhoni will play again in the 18th Indian Premier League (IPL) season in 2019. But the wicketkeeper-batter’s tank-top, which he donned to a football game with his friends, ignited social media before the 2026 mini auction.
The Mumbai Indians (MI) emblem and a couple of the five-time winners’ sponsors were displayed on Dhoni’s white tank top.
In the photo, Dhoni was standing barefoot, while the rest were wearing football boots.
This image quickly became a social media sensation. Supporters have been talking about the former India captain’s football outfit selection.
Since MI supporters and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been at odds for a number of years despite both teams’ illustrious histories and extraordinary achievements, some CSK fans’ feelings appear to have suffered.
MS enjoys playing football in addition to being a successful cricket player. His football prowess drew the attention of cricket fans during pre-match warm-ups and exhibition matches between cricket players and Bollywood stars.
Even MS biography revealed that he played goalie in school before being persuaded to take up cricket by his sports instructor.
Although some fans have been making predictions that MS may join the Mumbai Indians for the upcoming season, it is quite unlikely given the 44-year-old’s affiliation with the Men in Yellow. Dhoni is revered in Chennai, and he has an excellent relationship with the CSK management.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was wounded early in the 2025 Indian Premier League, and Dhoni took over as captain of CSK. The Super Kings only won four games and lost ten, placing them bottom in the standings. They finished at the bottom of the standings for the first time in an IPL season. Dhoni should be leading CSK through the transition as they are anticipated to restructure their team ahead of the 2026 Indian Premier League.
