A small moment involving MS Dhoni has struck a chord online, quickly turning into a widely shared clip. In the footage that surfaced on social media, a cameraman is heard asking a Chennai Super Kings staff member\u2014who was walking alongside the veteran captain\u2014to move aside so that Dhoni could be captured alone in the frame. The staffer complies and steps away, but Dhoni notices what\u2019s happening and intervenes immediately, motioning the staff member not to move and pulling him back toward himself.<\/p>\n
As the interaction unfolds, Dhoni places his hand around the staff member\u2019s shoulder and then continues walking away with him, turning an ordinary filming request into a display of quiet respect. It is not yet clear exactly when the video was recorded, but the exchange has been highlighted for its humility and warmth.<\/p>\n
Cameraman: \u201cCould you move back? I need to capture Mahi properly…\u201d
MS Dhoni: \u201cNo… stay right here. Don\u2019t listen to anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dhoni\u2019s off-field conduct has also drawn attention in another recent episode ahead of CSK\u2019s IPL 2026 encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The former captain was seen spending time with the ground staff at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, engaging with them and even clicking photographs, underscoring his appreciation for the people whose work helps keep matchdays running smoothly.<\/p>\n
In a separate video posted by CSK on social media, Dhoni is shown warmly interacting with the groundsmen\u2014smiling, exchanging moments, and posing for pictures. The clip has been circulated as yet another reminder of his down-to-earth attitude and his ability to connect with the unsung contributors of the sport.<\/p>\n
On the cricket front, Dhoni has not appeared in a single IPL 2026 match so far. He missed game time after suffering a calf injury during a practice session. He did travel with the squad for the first time this season ahead of the SRH fixture, but he was not available for selection.<\/p>\n
Even with his limited involvement so far, Dhoni has been spotted working in the nets recently. The footage shows him hitting the ball cleanly and clearing the ropes with ease, adding to the optimism around his form and fitness.<\/p>\n
CSK also shared an Instagram video showing Dhoni looking sharp, which further heightened fan excitement. With Dhoni set to miss the clash versus SRH, it remains unclear whether the 45-year-old will be included in CSK\u2019s next match against Mumbai Indians on April 23 at the Wankhede Stadium.<\/p>\n
Dhoni continues to be regarded as one of the IPL\u2019s most dependable performers. Across 278 appearances, he has scored 5,439 runs at an average of 38.30 and a strike rate of 137.45. His batting record includes 24 half-centuries, and his highest score is an unbeaten 84, placing him sixth among the tournament\u2019s all-time leading run-getters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
