The biggest reason for the popularity of Chennai Super Kings is its legendary player MS Dhoni. Because of him, this team gets support everywhere. But because of him, Chennai Super Kings is also suffering losses somewhere. Ambati Rayudu has said this in hints. Know what he said?

MS Dhoni is no less than a god for Chennai Super Kings fans. It is because of Dhoni that Chennai Super Kings is saluted by fans all over the world. Whether Chennai is playing at home or at the opponent's home, it gets full support because of Dhoni. However, former CSK batsman Ambati Rayudu believes that this is harming Chennai in some way. Rayudu suggested that Chennai fans are Dhoni's supporters first and this 'strange' obsession is not good for the franchise. Let us tell you what Rayudu said?

Rayudu said a very big thing

Rayudu said, 'It is very strange, and I don't think it is good for the game. If you are a new player, it can be very intimidating. The support is great, but as you play, you realize that they are Dhoni fans before CSK fans. It is quite clear, and rightly so, because the team has been set up like this for years. He is truly called 'Thala', and he takes decisions in CSK. Now the situation has become such that people are madly devoted to him.'

Other CSK players do not get support

Rayudu also told how CSK fans often celebrate when their own players get out, so that they can see Dhoni batting. The same thing happened in the match against Mumbai Indians last week. Rayudu told that many players have found this behavior strange in the past as well. He said, 'This has been happening for many years, and many players have felt it. However, nothing has been said openly. We love Dhoni, and so does he, but when you come out to bat and the fans shout for you to get out, it feels strange.'

Only Dhoni can solve this problem

Rayudu suggested that only Dhoni can solve this problem. Also, he asked the franchise to be ready for the time when the five-time IPL winning captain will not be in the team. He said, 'Only Dhoni can solve this. If he says that 'these are all our players, and they are batting the same way as I do', then the fans can calm down. This will be good for the players.' Rayudu further said, 'This will be challenging. Not only for the players or Chennai, but also for the franchise, because they have not prepared anyone other than Dhoni to attract the fans. If Dhoni is not there, then they will have to think of something new to retain the branding and fans.'
