One of the most successful franchises in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), boasts a passionate fanbase. This dedication is exemplified by 103-year-old S Ramdas, whose love for the CSK and cricket shines brightly.

In a heartwarming video shared by CSK, Ramdas expresses his long-standing fandom for the sport, particularly the fast-paced excitement of T20 cricket. His admiration extends to legendary cricketer MS Dhoni, the former captain of CSK. The video captures Ramdas expressing desire to meet Dhoni, a dream shared by many fans across generations.

Old fan vows to walk to Delhi to watch CSK’s Match

“I will walk all the way to Delhi,” declared Ramdas when asked if he would travel to Delhi to watch a CSK match. CSK boasts one of the largest fanbases in the IPL, with some truly dedicated Super Fans. However, none quite compare to Ramdas, who still fondly remembers Dhoni as the captain of the five-time champions.

“Oh Yes” says S Ramdas on meeting MS Dhoni

Soon-to-be 104-year-old Ramdas, a die-hard CSK fan, Ramdas expressed his love for the fast-paced nature of T20 cricket. What he particularly enjoys is that it doesn’t drag on like some of the longer cricket formats. Despite being 103 years old, Ramdas’ love for cricket remains strong. When his son asked about meeting Dhoni, his answer was a resounding “Oh yes!”

“While I was studying school, I was interested in cricket. But I was also afraid of getting hit. I used to bowl. “I love cricket, but I am afraid of playing cricket. I watch it on TV. 20 overs games finish quickly. They don’t drag on. I like it,” he said.
