During the IPL 2023 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, MS Dhoni’s massive following was evident as Jio Cinema’s viewership peaked at 2.2 crore when he and Ravindra Jadeja were batting in the last over. Playing his 200th match as CSK captain, Dhoni played some impressive shots in the final over, but was unable to hit a six off the last ball, thanks to a yorker from Sandeep Sharma. This viewership figure is said to be the highest of this year’s IPL.
For one moment, 2.2 Cr Indians held their breath. Old memories rushed back. A familiar expectation took over.

It didn't quite end like it used to but for one moment, time stood still for 20 million+ people.
