“Thala for a Reason,” a phrase that has grown in popularity concerning MS Dhoni. It is not just a simple phrase, it’s an ’emotion’ for all the die-hard Dhoni fans. He is admired by all the fans in India but it won’t be wrong to say that the Tamil fans love him the most as the former Indian captain has been playing for Chennai Super Kings since the start of the IPL.

‘Thala’ in Tamil means ‘leader’ or ‘head’. The CSK fans call him Thala affectionately, given that he has led the team with pride and delivered five trophies for the franchise.

Recently “Thala for a reason” has been going viral on social media and people, including a few brands, are using it concerning any trends about Dhoni. MSD has now come out and talked about the phrase. 

I myself was not aware of this trend. I got to know about it via Instagram. So, I am grateful to my fans. I don't have to defend myself on social media. I never need to come out and say anything on social media or Instagram. Whenever needed, my fans do it for me. Whenever needed, they praise me. So I am not required to do anything. I guess this was part of that too as well. So I am very grateful to my fans. Even though I am not very active on social media, still they just wait for me to post and they just love it.

However, he has been struggling with injuries and everyone has already realized that IPL 2024 might have been the last season for Dhoni. Mahi, however, has still not announced anything regarding his future in the IPL.
