Viral Video: The playful nature behind the serious demeanour of MS Dhoni has come to fore once again since he took a surprising turn on his trolls.?
The 42-year-old former Indian captain flipped the script by featuring in an advertisement for the e-bike brand EMotorad, where he lip-synced to the popular Falguni Pathak song 'Bole Jo Koyal'. In the ad, Dhoni was seen cruising through picturesque countryside on his electric two-wheeler, accompanied by two 'koyals' (cuckoo birds).
?For the uninitiated, the 'Bole Jo Koyal' meme has been a fixture in Dhoni's fandom since 2019, gaining traction when a video of Telugu creator Uppal Balu dancing to the song went viral. This led to humorous videos of Dhoni grooving to the catchy beats, making the meme even more popular.
Now, Dhoni's latest move has sparked excitement among his fans, with many praising his ability to embrace the joke and turn it into a moment of celebration. Comments on 'X' platform reflect the sentiment, with one user saying, "Nah man, you cannot beat this guy. Reddit used ¡°Thala for a reason¡± to troll him; it unironically became a widespread international trend for praising him. Insta/Twitter used ¡°Bole Jo Koyal¡± to troll him, he has now done an ad referencing it. He always keeps winning."?
Another user added,?"Nobody owns the troll like MS Dhoni and his fans. We just own it like pride and you will forget on why you started to troll in first place."
Notably, MS Dhoni's fondness for vintage music is well-known, with sightings of him singing classics during his tenure with the senior national team.?
Among his favorites is the iconic "Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shair Hoon" from the 1976 Bollywood hit 'Khabie Khabie'. Interestingly, Dhoni chose this very song as the backdrop for his retirement announcement from international cricket, sharing a nostalgic collection of photos from his playing days on Instagram.
Dhoni's graceful handling of jokes made about him is not an isolated incident in the cricket world. Earlier in 2022, cricket commentator and former Indian Cricket Team captain Ravi Shastri also embraced jokes about his partying habits in a CRED advertisement.
