Dhoni cooly said that if Superstar Rajini bats he can score 10 runs in 1 ball. This article was posted in Dina Malar, a tamil daily newspaper on January 2009.
When Dhoni visited Haryana state he had an opportunity to talk with few National Security Gaurds. One of the Comando’s asked Dhoni, “Whether it possible to hit 10 runs in one ball?”. Dhoni was puzzled for a second, then he with a cool head said, “Actor Rajinikant bats with a style. He smacks the ball. The balls splits into two. One half goes over the boundary for a Six and another rolls over the boundary for a four. So ten runs in 1 ball is a definite possiblity”. This was said with humour and fans of Rajini should not take this in the wrong sense.
People in Nothern parts of India believe Rajini as someone who can do impossible things. Dhoni’s comments is a reflection of this image of Rajini.
An Internet User Ganesh Says:
Chennai IPL Team’s Captain, MS Dhoni, was quoted saying the following about rajini during the IPL 2008 matches ”It would be a good thing. Here, he’s like a god. He’s a good person and a fine individual. He is amazing! If he’s in our team, it would be wonderful.”
I hope he has lot of respect for Rajini. I certainly don’t doubt his intentions.
Another interesting quote
“Learning Tamil to watch Sivaji, the boss” – M S Dhoni
When the IPL started in Chennai, MS Dhoni said in an interview that he is awestruck to see thepopularity that Superstar commands here and also said that Tamil Nadu sees him as a demi god. Now again in an interview to a local paper, he has said, “I am a big fan of Superstar. I am planning to watch Sivaji soon. To understand the dialogues, i am now learning Tamil. For that i have to watch tamil films continuously.”
He also added that Actor Vijay has invited him to watch his Kuruvi.
(Note that it is only Vijay invited him to watch. But Dhoni himself expressed his wish to watch Sivaji)
On the whole it seems Captain MS Dhoni seems to like our one and only Superstar Rajinikant.
