MS Dhoni’s subtle celebration
Known for his calm and composed demeanour both on and off the cricket field, former India captain Dhoni was captivated by the live coverage of Chandrayaan-3’s landing. Like millions of Indians, Dhoni was also glued to the television in a gym and eagerly awaited the historic moment. However, his celebration after the landing stood out from others for its subtlety and authenticity.
Rather than extravagant displays of jubilation, Dhoni’s expression of excitement came in the form of a simple gesture as he was seen clapping on his thigh in a hearty manner. The simple celebration showcased his modesty and genuine pride in India’s scientific achievements. The video capturing this heartfelt moment has ever since gone viral on the internet, drawing admiration from fans and netizens alike.
