MS Dhoni meets Home Minister Amit Shah, speculation rife over CSK captain joining BJP

Former Team India skipper and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni’s photo with Home Minister Amit Shah has gone viral on internet on Saturday. 

Following the development, the netizens are wondering if the ‘Captain Cool’ is entering politics and joining BJP. 

In the viral picture, Dhoni can be found shaking hands with Shah. The event marked the 75th anniversary of India Cements, a business owned by former BCCI President N Srinivasan, who also owns the Dhoni-led CSK in the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

RN Ravi, the governor of Tamil Nadu, also attended the event with Dhoni and Shah. Shah flew privately from New Delhi to Chennai to attend the event. 

L. Murugan, the state president of the BJP, and other top BJP leaders welcomed him at the airport.

Dhoni is India’s most successful captain with a record of winning the most ICC trophies. The wicketkeeper-batsman led India to victories in the 50-over World Cup in 2011 at home, the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007, and the Champions Trophy in 2013 in England.
