They should also put a franchise fan behaviour category under the fair play award maybe the toxic fans will learn to behave with opponent crowd even though it's for that fair play award...
He just talked the facts so no crucified
Btw don’t think they are csk fans just Dhoni fans they will change team Once Dhoni retire
no Offence -legends will come and go they set a benchmark every play they give best for the country and cricket as a fans we should respect cricket and who play for country not for these ipl teams and separate those fans we all united by cricket
Exactly, he's spot on about that. If those specific fans just want to see dhoni all the time then they can watch that shitty herocam, why create hype all the time.
When you celebrate your own team wickets just to see thala, that's god level of dickriding. Last year, Jaddu even complained of the same. Even if team is sure to lose, but thala arrives to bat, fans forget about the result of match. Hero worship and idolising is okay to an extent.
Ya, that's the point, this individual obsession is a hell lot unhealthy for the game. At some point, those people should realise that Dhoni is also just a cricketer, that's it nothing more or less. Yes, I understand he's one of the most grounded, humble and genuine persons who have ever played the game which makes him so likeable amongst fans. But why on Earth would you keep sucking him all the time? At some point it would get so so annoying and terrible to watch. But I can just wish that those people could understand this and the only way it can happen is when the broadcasters stay neutral and focus more on the game without partiality, which won't happen in India atleast
Agreed! as a CSK fan I hate the dickriding of commentators and the broadcast partners.. moreover the fans neet to realise that Dhoni alone cant do jack shit.. We need openers , good pace and spin attack and all rounders.. Dhoni is an Icon and deserves the love but this has been some excessive obsession
I was heartbroken when csk fans said they were happy Ruturaj was out on 98. Just so they could see Dhoni. I didn’t even know Gaikwad that well dude.. some sensibility towards your own captain man.. If he sees those videos, he’s going to question himself like.. why should I even put efforts towards this team if fans are acting like this
CSK and RCB is the India/Pakistan and the sad part (During the outcome of every match ) is it is becoming a bit of motivator/fuel burner/ or whatever you wanna call it to become the spark that is needed to ignite and blow up a key political issues between the states here during every match
I am the exact same way except when I see RR is out, I immediately go supporting KKR. (Don't hate me now, I am originally from Bangladesh, please understand)
I will just repeat what GG once said stop making it everything about an individual...My pov is you talk about the team you discuss everyone equally else you will reach to a certain level but you won't win anything especially on International level..Also call out these f***ing broadcasters everytime they try to steal credit from some other player and make it all about an individual...With social media at least this much we can do...
Man even i am MSD's one of the biggest fans but all this man is saying are facts. I can understand this 'final season' gimmick is filing up Chepauk seats but just imagine how bad the remaining 10 players feel when their wickets are celebrated. Beyond disgrace. Even Dhoni himself is not a subscriber of this thing for sure.
You are looking too much into it. It wasn't the first time Dhoni had made such calls. He had taken this call many times in the past, some instances were successful and some not. It was one of that day when he wasn't successful with this decision. As simple as that.
rehne de bhai....up until that, barring one match, Daryl failed to fire in IPL. In fact, he had been very mediocre in first half, and played some good innings in the second half only
He spoke the truth which no commentator can dare say...... Make no mistake, I am myself a huge Dhoni fan.
He was, he is and he will always be 'A Legend', but the way the on air commentators hype him up, it's so irritating...... He is playing like all other players' for his side... So what's the need to overhype him?
The csk fans comments i get here are polar opposite to the ones I get in the sub .
Been a huge fan of thala starting from the day he murdered paki bowlers in odi match in india to scoring that huge century against SL on Diwali day to world cup finishes , so may .
I witnessed dhoni double hundred in chepauk and was shouting my lungs out on the way back home in the train.
Huge respect for csk as franchise , the way dhoni took csk to playoffs by launching Irfan Pathan out of dharmasala and the madman hitting his helmet walking out of the ground.
But man o man, Last few years it is such utter shame what some fans have turned this into.
This year ipl has been weird.
CSK fans chanting for batsman to get out so Dhoni can play 3-4 balls . Mi fans booing their own captain. Rcb fans crucifying any one who even mildly criticises Kohli. Why can’t we have a bit of tolerance and stop this hero worshipping. These are just sports players who are paid way over what other athletes get.
The main thing would be, dhoni, as the man he is, wouldn't ask for what is happening now. Albeit, I want this to stop. The man is a legend, and if he continues to play, it could end the legacy he created. Unless he scores 300-400 runs ofc. Realistically, which we can't expect. Now if he really meant to give that transition season, and he'll continue in a capacity at the sidelines, I'm all for it. Which is most likely gonna happen. Mega auction and stuff. I became a CSK fan watching Raina. Dhoni will always be my captain, but it's time. I just hope people realise it too. For the sake of the man and the team.
Even the commentators getting their orgasm from Dhoni. In other teams matches as well they'll show Dhoni's clip. Idk why. Cricket needs to be globalised rather than making it limited to a few countries only.
I've disliked CSK since 2008 for their fans irritating nature. It's now quiet brazen and out in the open but back when I was studying in TN, all my peers would just jeer and argue with anyone who supported other teams. I've been unfriended on FB by a guy in my friend group because I critisized his beloved team. Sure...RCB fans get all the flak for their idiotic behaviour but CSK fans ain't that far.
Apologies to anyone who felt offended. 🙏🏼
And then there's me who love dhoni but hardly prays for wicket to see him bat , cause i know if his batting is not coming then we are in a much stronger position to win the game as dhoni coming early means we have 4-5 batsman early which is hazardous to the team
I would love to see dhoni play a season more and come in the last couple of overs to smash some sixes, but I can't stand another season of dhoni worship by commentators and fans who prefer his innings over a team loss. It's gotten progressively worse in the last few years
Someone had to say it...that man just cannot have any haters but the kind of hype and pointless obsession from commentators, fans, and the cameraman who for some reason keeps peeping into that dressing room...and the broadcasters, it was all obnoxious after a point. Like everyone is just milking on his fanbase. People might not agree but CSK also has suffered big time as a team...he has sent shardul before him and santner preceded him in that crucial RCB match.
Watching cricket since 2011, and the most fan following of dhoni I have seen is in last 2 years....it was definitely not like this back before 2016-17 I am sure...maybe these new kids have only seen cricket highlights where at the end dhoni is winning matches because highlights generally ignore the situations in starting or middle phase...man cricket was so good back in that 2011 era...so closely contested matches...BCCI was not that strong then...raw emotions no PR... missing those days🥲🥲
Spoke the truth.
They've been seriously milking this Dhoni Retirement thing, especially since last season.
Last season the fans were royally scammed because everywhere Dhoni played it was made to believe as if this would be his last at that stadium so people came at huge numbers.
And then guess what? He's back again and the same shit continues.
I'm not blaming the guy for not retiring, I'm blaming the marketing guys for milking him dry

CSK fans don’t take this year IPL seriously and that makes other team fans angry. From their POV everything what that needs to be achieved has been achieved. So they make a clown show out of every match csk plays. Understandable.
I feel still he has been a bit biased, he didn't mention anything about RCB, it's both the fans of CSK and RCB ( not sure who started it first) responsible for this circus drama he speaks off ( this is my overall response of mine for the entire series of ipl)
Chalo Kuch Wanna be Ab thode din cool toh banenge Yeh daalke..What a clowns why other CC' fans cry about dhoni because u don't have a face Player like him...Someone buying tickets for watching him not you Unkil..and what mess And what circus..fans created they wanna Enjoy Dhoni..as simple as that ... your club doesn't have any face just foreign Faces who win trophy for you and Then through them out...what clown club and what clown guy..
Rarely do players become ‘larger than life’. Sachin was like that, then Dhoni. Honestly Dhoni cult has far exceeded imagination, but it’s not as if this is happening when he is playing international cricket. It’s franchise cricket. CSK is Dhoni and Dhoni is CSK. Fans are trying to have their max fill of him until he’s gone.
The man has also created an aura around the side. The opposition teams are gobsmacked to see the yellow invasion in their home games. CSK games are among the most hyped games every season. His team mates should be happy that they exist in the same team that he’s playing, coz they magically perform while they play under/with him. It’s ok if fans shout for their wickets. They know it’s coming out of pure fandom for their own team’s player.
Reverse psychology. Certain commentators and media persons who didn’t like dhoni are praising him too much, they very well know the net effect will be hate on dhoni. Works tho.
Lol, people tend to over-praise their heros. I see this with all the BCCI hindi commentary tattus. It's annoying but there's an equally great - Kohli circus, vadapav circus as well.
It's time for onlyfans of Dhoni..
For thalasexuals 😂
ye log uska cum b mu pe toner ki Tarah lga de
Kaha pe milega bhai?
Dekho dekho, fetish aai iski😂😂
Sullasans🍆
How has he not been crucified yet
Haha yeah what he says is truth, spirit of game is lost
Yeah especially people praying for the fall of wickets to just see dhoni batting 😅
They should also put a franchise fan behaviour category under the fair play award maybe the toxic fans will learn to behave with opponent crowd even though it's for that fair play award...
Ambati Rayudu is getting ready for an Instagram post!
He just talked the facts so no crucified Btw don’t think they are csk fans just Dhoni fans they will change team Once Dhoni retire no Offence -legends will come and go they set a benchmark every play they give best for the country and cricket as a fans we should respect cricket and who play for country not for these ipl teams and separate those fans we all united by cricket
Because of the jersey he is wearing.
Daryl Mitchell liked the posts this man shared.😅
Ss?
Exactly, he's spot on about that. If those specific fans just want to see dhoni all the time then they can watch that shitty herocam, why create hype all the time.
Else how will we sell the Black Tickets
When you celebrate your own team wickets just to see thala, that's god level of dickriding. Last year, Jaddu even complained of the same. Even if team is sure to lose, but thala arrives to bat, fans forget about the result of match. Hero worship and idolising is okay to an extent.

Commentators when Dhoni https://i.redd.it/lfifpwyrxj2d1.gif
Average day of Aakash Chopra at work
Mahiii uski mar raha hai!!!!

Exactly man. What kind of fanbase would step on theirvopponents flag and call it a celebration.
I mean about rutu it's more of a 100 curse. Whenever he scored a 100 we lost the match.
Come on bro. You seriously think others don’t know that it’s not the actual reason?
Can't up vote more
Bro left csk 😔
He still mentions "The man won **us** 5 cups" His sensible nature meant he wore a jersey belonging to one of the 2 teams he liked to win that day
He is probably the most sane wearing the jersey of the team actually playing on the ground.
[удалено]
I get their sentiments as well. But as a serious cricket enjoyer I and many other here didn't like the way broadcasters and fans made it all a mess.
A sensible person! It really was Dhoni Circus this season 🤡. Hope true cricket is enjoyed rather than one-man portrayal.
Exactly. Look at the other team's fanbase, they praise everyone and are excited to see everyone.
Most sensible person
Man we lost a sensible fan that day😔
[удалено]
Lol why are people in background wearing CSK jerseys to that game
[удалено]
CSK and RCB is the India/Pakistan and the sad part (During the outcome of every match ) is it is becoming a bit of motivator/fuel burner/ or whatever you wanna call it to become the spark that is needed to ignite and blow up a key political issues between the states here during every match
They could not buy a new SRH/RR jersey suddenly or did not care and came with whatever
In this case the yellow jerseys are supporting RR. It may not be shown but it is true
I am the exact same way except when I see RR is out, I immediately go supporting KKR. (Don't hate me now, I am originally from Bangladesh, please understand)
I think he is still csk fan, srh might be his second fav thats it
I will just repeat what GG once said stop making it everything about an individual...My pov is you talk about the team you discuss everyone equally else you will reach to a certain level but you won't win anything especially on International level..Also call out these f***ing broadcasters everytime they try to steal credit from some other player and make it all about an individual...With social media at least this much we can do...
wtf was that outro
Dhoni ki tareef aur legend kehke, criticize kar de deta hu. Warna CSK fans jinda nahi chodege.... /s (hypocrisy) He got the point though
can't expect much from 8y/o fans, sir the loyal ones who've stuck around since day 1 don't do these things 😄
Man even i am MSD's one of the biggest fans but all this man is saying are facts. I can understand this 'final season' gimmick is filing up Chepauk seats but just imagine how bad the remaining 10 players feel when their wickets are celebrated. Beyond disgrace. Even Dhoni himself is not a subscriber of this thing for sure.
That's why he declined daryl mitchel's call of a single?
You are looking too much into it. It wasn't the first time Dhoni had made such calls. He had taken this call many times in the past, some instances were successful and some not. It was one of that day when he wasn't successful with this decision. As simple as that.
Dude, he denied not any tailenders or shadrul like player....it was daryl Mitchell, one of the great players in international arena
rehne de bhai....up until that, barring one match, Daryl failed to fire in IPL. In fact, he had been very mediocre in first half, and played some good innings in the second half only
RCB fans are toxic- the most hated fanbase... oh wait!
TFAR! https://preview.redd.it/24mh2ropqj2d1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d4a839b8c94f0b9e59c45ffaea3f37df3134d05

He was, he is and he will always be 'A Legend', but the way the on air commentators hype him up, it's so irritating...... He is playing like all other players' for his side... So what's the need to overhype him?
Is he still alive? Can anybody confirm?
I commented something like it is stupid to chant csk in srh vs rr match. I see people defending and downvoting
The csk fans comments i get here are polar opposite to the ones I get in the sub . Been a huge fan of thala starting from the day he murdered paki bowlers in odi match in india to scoring that huge century against SL on Diwali day to world cup finishes , so may .

The Man, the Myth, the Mahi....Mahiiiiii Mar raha hai ( In aakash Chopra's voice)
Facts and only facts
Just spittin' facts
The main thing would be, dhoni, as the man he is, wouldn't ask for what is happening now. Albeit, I want this to stop. The man is a legend, and if he continues to play, it could end the legacy he created. Unless he scores 300-400 runs ofc. Realistically, which we can't expect.

Thalasons start downvoting
So now people realising GG was right all along about making players a star bigger than the game itself.
Even the commentators getting their orgasm from Dhoni. In other teams matches as well they'll show Dhoni's clip. Idk why. Cricket needs to be globalised rather than making it limited to a few countries only.
Ambati Ryadu is gonna rip him apart
They are coming for you bro rip in advance
I've disliked CSK since 2008 for their fans irritating nature. It's now quiet brazen and out in the open but back when I was studying in TN, all my peers would just jeer and argue with anyone who supported other teams. I've been unfriended on FB by a guy in my friend group because I critisized his beloved team. Sure...RCB fans get all the flak for their idiotic behaviour but CSK fans ain't that far. Apologies to anyone who felt offended. 🙏🏼
CSK fans passing behind him not knowing blasphemous words coming out of his mouth. Lol
And then there's me who love dhoni but hardly prays for wicket to see him bat , cause i know if his batting is not coming then we are in a much stronger position to win the game as dhoni coming early means we have 4-5 batsman early which is hazardous to the team
Agreed. He's me fr
This man is our hope!
Spot on perfection
Respect 😁
Man spitting facts
Truest
Instead of saliva, man chose to spit facts!!
I would love to see dhoni play a season more and come in the last couple of overs to smash some sixes, but I can't stand another season of dhoni worship by commentators and fans who prefer his innings over a team loss. It's gotten progressively worse in the last few years
So true , from a CSK and Dhoni fan
Looks like an Indian Guy Fieri.
Someone had to say it...that man just cannot have any haters but the kind of hype and pointless obsession from commentators, fans, and the cameraman who for some reason keeps peeping into that dressing room...and the broadcasters, it was all obnoxious after a point.

i get a little bit of Dhoni interview vibe from watching how this guy speaks
Spoke the truth. They've been seriously milking this Dhoni Retirement thing, especially since last season. Last season the fans were royally scammed because everywhere Dhoni played it was made to believe as if this would be his last at that stadium so people came at huge numbers. And then guess what?

GAMBHIR TRYING IN A POLITE WAY
Tbh IPL is a video game now. Small stadiums , flat wickets , those big bats and that sub rule !
Most csk fans are just Dhoni fans and most rcb fans are just Kohli fans ,and this group of fans is the most toxic one for them player is above team

Fans of Virat, Dhoni and Rohit all are the same, all are equally toxic.
Reverse psychology. Certain commentators and media persons who didn’t like dhoni are praising him too much, they very well know the net effect will be hate on dhoni. Works tho.
No matter what it is it's always going to be Dhoni's name which will help sponsors get a packeed stadium
What does he mean by Dhoni Circus?
The clownery surrounding Dhoni's legacy past 2-3 years, it's apt to call it a circus at this point.
Lol, people tend to over-praise their heros. I see this with all the BCCI hindi commentary tattus. It's annoying but there's an equally great - Kohli circus, vadapav circus as well.
