M S Dhoni appears to be enjoying his retirement from international cricket. He seems to have a lot of time for interesting get-ups. One day he is a philosophy-spouting bald monk giving gyaan to kids. And then he is some sort of camp sergeant giving gyaan to some more kids. And then the next day Dhoni is seen sporting the distinctive, wild hairdo of a Sri Lankan cricketer. Maybe this is just one way of attracting eyeballs – Dhoni is still going to play IPL 2021, remember?
Seen here as some sort of monk, he appears to be trolling Rohit Sharma and his ‘laalach’ for winning the IPL tournament.
Someone thought that phrase sounded like Mahendra?
This is clever advertising – in fact it is so clever that it is now meme-worthy.
People love cricket and clearly they love this ‘old monk’ as well.
Get it? Dalai Lama? Thalaiva? The boss?
His fame and star-power is undimmed by his recent lacklustre performances, it would seem.
In recent times, Dhoni has been unable to fulfill his role as Mr. Reliable; the great finisher.
This one speaks about Virat Kohli and manages to speak in a non-offensive way about the fact that his RCB has never been able to win the IPL.
It’s Dhoni’s face but that is definitely Slinger Malinga’s hair. CWC11Rewind tweeted this image.
Loved it
Wanted to unsee it.
Why would you do that to me, this tweet seems to say.
With Virat – because why not.
Dhoni as drill sergeant. Dhoni as bald monk. Dhoni as Lasith Malinga. They are all good marketing tactics. It got Twitter all worked up – one way or the other.
