He believes that MS Dhoni has earned that status through his exceptional leadership skills and his numerous achievements on the cricket field, including leading India to victory in the 2007 ICC World T20, 2016 Asia Cup, and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Harbhajan also praised MS Dhoni’s humility and his ability to connect with his fans. He mentioned that Dhoni has always respected the love and emotion that his fans have shown him, especially during his time with the Chennai Super Kings, where he has become a cult figure. Despite being the captain of the team, Dhoni has always been approachable and has made time for his fans, which has endeared him to them even more.

MS Dhoni Has Expected His Fandom To His Heart: Harbhajan Singh
During his appearance on Star Sports Cricket Live, Harbhajan Singh emphasized that MS Dhoni is a unique and unparalleled cricketer, stating that no one in India can be considered a bigger cricketer than him. Harbhajan acknowledged that other cricketers may have scored more runs or taken more wickets than Dhoni, but he firmly believes that no one in the country has a larger following of fans than Dhoni.
“Mahendra Singh Dhoni is only one. There cannot be a bigger cricketer than him in India. Someone could have scored more runs than him and someone could have taken more wickets than him, but no one has a bigger fanbase than him.
“Dhoni has accepted this fandom to heart and he respects his teammates as well. He walks with so much love and emotion that anyone else would go mad, but Dhoni has carried this love and emotion in his heart for 15 years and he still hasn’t changed at all.”
In a recent milestone achievement, MS Dhoni led the Chennai Super Kings for the 200th time, becoming the only captain in the team’s 16-year-long history to accomplish this feat.
As a former captain of the Indian cricket team and a World Cup winner, MS Dhoni’s leadership has been instrumental in CSK’s success, having guided them to four IPL title victories, which is just one short of the record held by Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Mumbai Indians.
