Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni attracts fans from all over the world wherever he plays. He has emerged as a cult figure in the South since joining the Chennai franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and fans of all age groups admire him.
A testament to the aforementioned statement was presented by CSK in their latest video, posted on their social media accounts, where Dhoni’s 103-year-old ‘senior youth’ fan, S. Ramdas, wants to meet him and watch a match at the Chepauk.
“I am 103 years old, but I am not old. I am a senior youth. I like cricket, I watch cricket,” he said further explaining he is though scared of playing cricket but loves to watch it. Further talking about Dhoni, Ramdas shared that he wants to watch a CSK match in Chepauk and meet Dhoni. “Whenever, he has time, and whenever he calls, take me,” he says.
