Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni is currently the most-talked-about Indian personality on X despite his disappointing performance in the IPL 2025 season. MS Dhoni surpassed his former teammates Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in terms of public attention among cricket celebrities in India.
Chennai Super Kings have suffered back-to-back losses in their recent IPL 2025 matches. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team commenced the 2025 season with a win over Mumbai Indians (MI). However, they were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their last two games.
MS Dhoni Beats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
MS Dhoni is the most-discussed Indian personality on X, according to data from ‘X-Data’ for March. Following Dhoni, Virat Kohli, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore, is in second place.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is at the third spot, while Rohit Sharma is in fourth. Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan, actor Vijay, Union Minister Amit Shah, Bollywood star Salman Khan, and actor Allu Arjun are among other prominent names on the list.
MS Dhoni to Be Next Seen in Action Against the Delhi Capitals
MS Dhoni‘s late entry into the batting order sparked strong reactions from fans and former players, with many questioning the decision. The 43-year-old batted lower down the order, at No. 7 or 8, for most of IPL 2024. Critics said that he shouldn’t play as a wicketkeeper if his body can no longer keep up.
Chennai Super Kings are looking to bounce back after suffering two consecutive losses. CSK is seventh in the points table with two points from three matches. CSK has only managed to reach the Top 4 once in the past three seasons.
Dhoni will be seen in action during the match against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Chepauk on April 5. This next match is an afternoon fixture, set to begin at 3:30 PM IST at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s Performances in IPL 2025 Season
Virat Kohli will next take the field against the Gujarat Titans at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 2. Kohli had a strong start to the season with a quick half-century against Kolkata Knight Riders, but scored just 31 off 30 balls against CSK. RCB has had a positive start with two back-to-back wins.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma‘s form remains a concern. Rohit struggled once again, despite Mumbai Indians securing their first win of the season. Chasing a target of 117, he managed just 13 runs off 12 balls before being dismissed. He failed to capitalize on the opportunity to get some runs and regain form.
Rohit was dismissed for a duck against CSK and scored only eight runs against Gujarat Titans. It’s uncertain whether they will continue to back him or explore other options in the lineup.
