MS Dhoni's 9-Year-Old Tweet on 'Doesn't Matter Which Team Wins..' Resurfaces After RR Pip CSK

MS Dhoni almost nearly pulled off a miraculous win for Chennai Super Kings against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium with Sanju Samson’s men winning the last ball thrilled by just 3 runs. Dhoni couldn’t take CSK over the line with Sandeep Sharma keeping his nerve to guide RR to a victory however, after the match, a 9-year-old tweet of MS Dhoni resurfaced on the internet which completely justifies what he was talking about himself nearly a decade ago.

Dhoni had tweeted in March 2014 that it doesn’t matter which team wins, here’s there to entertain the crowd and even after 9 years the tweet remains true to every single word.

The stage was set, it was Dhoni’s 200th match in which he led the Yellow Army and his side needed just 5 runs to win from the last ball however, Sandeep nailed a textbook yorked and the CSK skipper could only collect a single.
