Cricket is a hugely popular sport in India, and cricket players attract massive attention wherever they go in the country. And, the cricketers have fans from various fields, including business, cinema, and even other sports as well.

Tollywood film actress Rashmika Mandanna had earlier revealed that she was rooting for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side in the Indian Premier League (IPL). But then, the 25-year-old actress revealed that she is not a fan of RCB skipper and batting legend Virat Kohli.

Rashmika Mandanna further added that she is a fan of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper and cricketing legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Mandanna emphatically stated that MS Dhoni is her hero.

“Dhoni batting, captaincy, wicket keeping … that means he will fall and die … he is a master class player. Dhoni is my hero,” said Mandanna in an interaction on social media.
