The winning captain of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, MS Dhoni, is making a return to the iconic blue jersey, but this time not on the field. He is set to feature in the ad campaign for the Champions Trophy 2025. The announcement has sent fans, especially those of CSK, into a frenzy, with pictures of Dhoni in his India jersey going viral on social media.
Fans have expressed immense joy and nostalgia, reminiscing about Dhoni’s calm leadership during crucial moments, particularly the 2013 Champions Trophy final, which India won under his captaincy.
Though Dhoni will not be playing in the 2025 Champions Trophy, his presence in the ad campaign is seen as a symbolic gesture, reminding fans of his contributions to Indian cricket. This ad appearance has stirred hopes of a new era, with Rohit Sharma now leading the team.
The 2025 Champions Trophy is seen as an opportunity for redemption, following India’s loss to Pakistan in the 2017 final. Dhoni’s cameo in the ad has rekindled memories of his leadership and is seen as an inspirational boost for the current squad.
