IPL 2021: Music Maestro AR Rahman Dedicates Song To CSK Skipper MS Dhoni

The IPL fever has gripped the nation once again. Though cricket fans were unable to cheer their team live due to COVID-19 restrictions. They are doing it in various other ways. Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman too did the same. He took time out to dedicate some of his songs to Chennai Super Kings cricketers. The music maestro dedicated songs to MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina.

AR Rahman has dedicated the ‘Chale Chalo’ song from Lagaan to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni. Rahman also dedicated the song ‘Mangta Hai Kya’ from Rangeela to CSK’s star batsman Suresh Raina.

Speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Live, Rahman said, “I would like to dedicate the song ‘Chale Chalo’ from the movie Lagaan to MS Dhoni, as it motivates people to play cricket together. And for Suresh Raina, I would like to dedicate the song ‘Mangta Hai Kya’, because whenever I went to Bangalore, they were listening to a lot of songs from Rangeela.”

Former India batsmen Gautam Gambhir opined that Dhoni should be batting higher up the order as captain. He added that Dhoni’s attacking power was nowhere as strong as it once was in his prime. According to Gambhir, his disappointing two-ball duck in the last test with Delhi Capitals is a testament to the failure of the current batting order.

“MS Dhoni should be batting higher. You can’t be leading, when you’re batting at No.7,” Gambhir said on Star Sports show Cricket Live

Chennai Super Kings are all set to battle Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday, April 16th.
