From Helicopter Shot to High Fashion
Dhoni’s shirt speaks louder than his bat
In a world where cricket legends often fade into serene retirement, MS Dhoni has taken a detour through the dressing room of destiny—rebranding himself with bold prints, designer threads, and a hairstyle that could command its endorsement deal.
Once known for his subdued charm and low-key wardrobe that echoed Ranchi realness, Captain Cool now struts through the fashion world like the brand ambassador of Bling Bhara Bharat. Ever since his association with Reliance Brands, Dhoni’s style meter has gone from “serviceable” to “straight-up sensational.”
The Piano Shirt Heard Round the Timeline
It started subtly—an edgy trim here, a curated beard there. But the tipping point? The turning point was the now-iconic piano-print shirt. He looked so loud that social media heard the chords and asked, “Is he channelling Babita’s favourite TV mogul?” Enter: Jethalal-coded Dhoni. The comparisons poured in. Meme maestros and satire savants declared the transformation complete: “He doesn’t just play power shots. He wears them.”
Style Stats and Swagger Upgrades
Dhoni’s walk is now less of a tactical stride and more of a cinematic glide. His hairstyle, once a humble crop, now resembles wind-sculpted architecture. And that beard? Rumour has it, Milan-based stylists take quarterly inspiration calls from his grooming team.
Enter Jethalal Himself
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Dilip Joshi (aka Jethalal) said, “It is heartwarming to learn that people have started comparing Dhoni’s reportedly Rs 72,000 shirt with my code. Dhoni is a legend—and who wouldn’t want to be compared with such a great cricketer?” He even recalled a moment when Dhoni referenced him during a match: “Jadeja was bowling from one end, and Captain Dhoni, keeping wickets behind the stumps, had asked Jadeja to bowl a googly like how I spin in the TV serial. (Jethalal jaisa TV serial me acting karte googly dalta hai waisa ball dal).”
Corporate Collaboration or Cinematic Comeback?
Fans speculate whether his new look is part of a Reliance-Retro drama series titled “Taarak Mehta ka Reliance ke Dhoni Bhaiya.” Paparazzi await his airport look like match highlights, with hashtags like #CaptainCoolToCaptainCouture and #StyledByJetha floating freely.
