MS Dhoni is the God of Chennai, his temples would be built in the years to come: Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu has said that temples will be built in the name of former India and Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni in Chennai for his contribution to the Indian team and CSK in the IPL over the years. Interestingly, temples of many celebrities like Rajinikanth and Kushboo have been built over the years by fans, and according to Rayudu, MS Dhoni will be getting the same treatment. 

His remarks came after CSK registered a brilliant victory against Rajasthan Royals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on May 12, which was their final group stage match of the IPL 2024 at home. The win saw them move even closer to a berth in the playoffs. However, their qualification is still not confirmed. If the side fails to qualify for the playoffs, then Dhoni has already played his final game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. 

“He is the God of Chennai and I am sure, temples of MS Dhoni would be built in the years to come in Chennai. He is someone who brought India the joy of two World Cups and has brought Chennai joy with a lot of IPL and Champions League titles. He has just been that one guy who shows belief in his players, who has always done it for the team, for the country and for CSK," Rayudu told Star Sports.

“He is a legend and someone everybody celebrates in the crowd. They might be thinking that this might be his last game in Chennai,” Rayudu added.

Much to the pleasure of the fans, the squad did a victory lap around the stadium after their victory, acknowledging the crowd and thanking them for the support that they have shown throughout the season.
