If MS Dhoni is one of the most popular cricketers on the planet then the cheers he got at the Chepauk on Sunday pretty much proves how much popular he is. Dhoni is adored in the entire nation but it seems like the people of Chennai worship him. The boy-wonder from Ranchi has become one of Chennai’s own due to the remarkable way he has led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League.

Dhoni is with the team since the inaugural season in 2008 and has led them in all the seasons so far. He has remained with the team through thick and thin. Subsequently, he has become a crowd favourite among the cricket-obsessed fans of Chennai. Dhoni has led the team to three IPL titles in addition to four other finals as well as two now-scrapped Champions League T20 titles before the franchise was suspended for a couple of years in 2015.

In those two years, Dhoni played for Rising Pune Supergiant but returned to his beloved team as soon as the suspension ended last year. And it was a comeback season to remember. He led the Super Kings from the very front to power them to the title against all the odds. In the process, he became just the second captain while Super Kings became only the second team to win the IPL thrice.

Unsurprisingly, Dhoni is loved so much in Chennai. And the fans gave a glimpse of their adulation for Dhoni on Sunday by giving him a deafening reception on Sunday. Incredible, it was just a practice session but the fans attended it in large numbers and reserved their loudest cheer for their skipper when he came out to bat.

Here is a video showing that incredible moment:

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings will open their campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the tournament-opener on March 23.
