MS Dhoni, the beloved former cricketer of India, continues to capture the hearts of fans who celebrate his remarkable legacy. This sentiment was evident on Sunday (June 25) when Dhoni became a trending topic on Twitter. The reason behind this online buzz was a viral video showcasing air hostesses expressing their adoration for the iconic Indian cricketer during a flight.

In the video, one of the air hostesses is seen holding a collection of chocolates intended for Dhoni, demonstrating the respect and admiration she had for the Ranchi-born superstar. Dhoni graciously acknowledged her gesture and engaged in a warm interaction. Notably, in the same video, keen-eyed viewers spotted a tab displaying the popular game Candy Crush on the tray table in front of Dhoni.

The video of Dhoni playing Candy Crush quickly gained traction, leading to an interesting development on the internet. A tweet swiftly gained popularity, proclaiming a significant surge in downloads for the game: “Just In – We Got 3.6 million New Downloads in just 3 hours. Thanks to the Indian Cricket Legend @msdhoni. We are Trending In India Just Because Of You. #Candycrush #MSDhoni ~ Team Candy Crush Saga.”

It is worth noting that the Twitter account responsible for the tweet is not an official Candy Crush account but rather a parody account and fan page, as clearly mentioned in its bio. Nevertheless, the tweet added fuel to the already buzzing Dhoni conversation, highlighting the immense influence he holds over his fans.

For those unaware, Dhoni is known to be an avid gamer, particularly in the realm of video games. He enjoys playing popular titles like FIFA, Call of Duty, and PubG, often joining his teammates for gaming sessions.

MSD recently led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to their fifth title win after defeating Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 Final.
