In the latest IPL 2025 fixture, MS Dhoni once again proved why he remains one of cricket’s most admired figures, both on and off the field. After guiding Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a much-needed victory over Lucknow Super Giants with a blistering 26* off just 11 balls, the 43-year-old former India captain melted hearts at the Lucknow airport. A video that has since gone viral captured Dhoni breaking through his security detail to fulfil a wheelchair-bound fan’s wish by stopping for a selfie—an act of humility that exemplifies his enduring charm.
CSK, coming off four consecutive losses, needed a turnaround, and Dhoni delivered under pressure, finishing the game in vintage style. With this win, CSK revived their IPL campaign ahead of their blockbuster clash with Mumbai Indians on April 20 at Wankhede Stadium.
The heartwarming airport moment further cemented Dhoni’s legacy, with fans flooding social media in admiration. A post by @ChakriDhonii highlighted how Dhoni took the initiative to click the photo himself. Despite years of accolades, including World Cup triumphs and the tag of best finisher, Dhoni’s humility remains unchanged, showcasing that true greatness lies not just in winning matches but in touching lives.
