New Delhi: The former Indian cricketer and the only captain to win all the ICC Trophies, MS Dhoni, has seemed to catch the highlights from time to time, even after his official retirement from international cricket three years ago.
Dhoni has one of the biggest fan bases in the country, and from time to time, they like to keep giving homage to their idol. Most of the time, the haters also join the trend, doing the same thing, just in a little sarcastic way.
So, no matter good or bad, if anything even remotely connected to the former Indian cricketer finds its way to the internet, it is guaranteed to go viral within hours.
The latest trend regarding MS Dhoni, which is going viral on the internet, is the “Thala for a reason,” trend in which people are connecting different things with the number 7, which is MS Dhoni’s jersey number and posting it with the caption, “Thala for a reason.”
Google joins the trend
Google India, after weeks of the trend going viral on the internet, decided to join the trend by posting a picture of the significance of the number ‘7’ Google search, along with the caption, “Thala for a reason,” on their X (Formerly known as Twitter) page.
