NEW DELHI: ‘Thala for a reason‘ — memes around this phrase have been circulating widely on social media as cricket fans flood the internet with viral posts, linking anything and everything to MS Dhoni’s iconic jersey number 7.
For the first time, the legendary Dhoni, who has led Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles, responded to the ‘Thala for a reason’ meme in a viral video.
When asked if he knows the meme and the reason behind it, Dhoni said, “I do know, but I don’t know the reason behind it. I’m not sure whether it’s funny, meant to pull my leg, just banter, or a meme. But whatever it is, I think my fans have turned it into something positive for me. That’s what I feel.”
“I’ve got brilliant fans. I don’t need to speak up or say anything; they’re the ones who step up if someone questions me. I’m just keeping quiet and enjoying my life. I try to play good cricket, and that’s what matters to me,” Dhoni added.
