The Indian Premier League (IPL) never fails to deliver moments of sheer brilliance, and MS Dhoni, the legendary captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), once again proved why he remains a fan favorite. In a recent match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) during IPL 2025, Dhoni rolled back the years with a breathtaking cameo that left fans and players alike in awe. Following the match, Suryakumar Yadav, the dynamic Mumbai Indians batter, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt and humorous tribute to Dhoni, capturing the essence of the moment perfectly.
Suryakumar Yadav drops a witty Instagram story for MS Dhoni
Shortly after the match, Suryakumar, known for his own flair in T20 cricket, posted an Instagram story that quickly went viral. The story featured a picture of Dhoni and Shivam Dube, another CSK batter, sharing a fist bump on the field, both dressed in CSK’s iconic yellow jerseys. The caption, written in Hindi, reflected Suryakumar’s admiration for Dhoni’s strike rate and his playful banter with Dube. Suryakumar added three emojis—a laughing face, a facepalm, and a blue heart—perfectly capturing the lighthearted tone of the exchange.
- Mahibhai – Strike denge tho tum bana lega ??? (Mahibhai – If I give you the strike, will you be able to score?)
- Dubey – try kar lenge (Dubey – I’ll try)
- Mahibhai – try karna hai tho hum hi kar lete hai. Tum bus run out mat kar dena (Mahibhai – If it’s about trying, then I’ll do it myself. Just don’t get me run out).

A similar moment in MS Dhoni’s biopic
Suryakumar’s humorous caption about Dhoni’s conversation with Dube strikingly mirrors a scene from the 2016 biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. In the film, a young Dhoni, played by Sushant Singh Rajput, has a similar exchange with a teammate from Bihar during a local match. When Dhoni asks if his partner can handle the pressure of scoring, the teammate hesitantly says he’ll try. Dhoni, with his characteristic wit and confidence, replies that he’d rather take charge himself than leave it to chance, ensuring he doesn’t get run out. This cinematic moment beautifully captured Dhoni’s early leadership and self-belief, traits that Suryakumar’s Instagram story reflects in the present day.
In the clash between CSK and LSG, the spotlight was firmly on Dhoni as he walked out to bat in the death overs. With CSK needing quick runs, Dhoni delivered in trademark fashion, smashing a flurry of boundaries and a six to give his team a fighting chance. His explosive batting not only shifted the momentum but also electrified the crowd, reminding everyone why he’s often called “Thala” by CSK fans. Dhoni stayed unbeaten on 26 off 11 balls, with 4 fours and a six to help CSK finish the proceedings and register their second win of the tournament.
