Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans are known for their unwavering support for MS Dhoni, and one fangirl’s emotional reaction to his dismissal has taken the internet by storm. During CSK’s high-voltage IPL 2025 clash, cameras captured a young fangirl’s heartbroken expression moments after Dhoni was dismissed, and the internet wasted no time turning it into the latest viral meme.
MS Dhoni’s dismissal against Rajasthan Royals
The incident took place during CSK’s run-chase against Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Dhoni walked in with CSK needing 54 runs off 25 balls, igniting hopes of yet another vintage masterclass. However, the legendary finisher couldn’t steer his team to victory this time, falling to a sharp catch by RR’s Shimron Hetmyer in the final over. As the camera panned to the crowd, it zoomed in on a visibly distraught CSK fangirl, who was seething in anger but held back from ‘scolding’ the legendary cricketer.

Some fans compared her reaction to previous viral cricket moments, such as the famous “disappointed Pakistani fan” from the 2019 World Cup. Others humorously captioned the image to depict their emotions about everything from exams to heartbreak.
One popular meme read, “Me when my salary gets credited vs. Me checking my bank balance a week later,” while another joked, “That moment when you realize Monday is just a few hours away.” CSK fans, meanwhile, turned it into a rallying cry, with many saying her reaction perfectly summed up their emotions every time Dhoni gets out.
