Yo Yo Honey Singh has revealed that MS Dhoni is his favorite cricketer, explaining that he became a die-hard fan after meeting him. The singer and music producer shared this during his ongoing “Millionaire Tour” in Kolkata.
Honey Singh stated that before Dhoni, he was a huge Sachin Tendulkar fan.
“Mai sabse tagda fan agar cricket mein hua hoon toh woh Tendulkar Sir ka hua hoon (If I have ever been the strongest fan of anyone in cricket, it has been of Sachin Tendulkar Sir),” he said at the concert.
Honey Singh then revealed when he switched his allegiance to MS Dhoni.
“Personally, jab mai mila toh mai khatarnak fan ho gaya Dhoni paaji ka. Uske jaisa insaan maine apni zindagi mein nahin dekha. Samandar hai woh, samandar (When I personally met Dhoni, I became a die-hard fan of his. I have never seen anyone like him in my life. He is an ocean),” Honey Singh said.
Chennai Super Kings, who are struggling in the IPL, will face Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.
CSK will have to correct their course to return to winning ways, and as has been the case in recent weeks, much of the focus will again be on veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who smashed a 12-ball 27 against PBKS with three sixes and a four.
Dhoni has recently been criticized for his perceived lack of intent. However, against Punjab Kings, the 43-year-old seemed to turn back the clock with his explosive batting.
With four consecutive defeats, Chennai will attempt to return to winning ways on Friday against the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, at Chepauk.
Dhoni is the sixth-highest run-scorer in the tournament’s history, with 5,346 runs at an average of 39.31 and a strike rate of over 137, including 24 fifties and a best score of 84. In IPL 2025, Dhoni has scored 103 runs in five innings at an average of 51.50 and a strike rate of over 153.73; his best score is 30.”
