On the day of Chennai Super Kings clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore, some surprising stories of superfans of MS Dhoni and Kohli were unveiled.
A fan named Jai Soni got a full tattoo of Dhoni on his back in 2016. He is looking forward to meeting the former Indian captain and enjoying his big fan moment. Speaking on the Super Kings show on Star Sports, Soni revealed that he has got a full tattoo of the legendary cricketer on his back, as he is a huge fan of his calm demeanor.
“I am maintaining my tattoo religiously so that one day I may get a chance to meet him and show my tattoo,” he said. Talking about why he admires the cricketer, Soni shared that he is impressed by Dhoni’s calm mindset and his ability to change the game in no time.
Soni, who hails from Navsari, Gujarat, always wanted to become a cricketer, but when this did not work out, he opened a tattoo parlor in Navsari in 2015. However, his mind was always focused on the game. His tattoo shop doesn’t really operate in the months of April and May and the reason is simple – IPL. And when Dhoni is playing, all he cares about is the TV screen, nothing else.
“When he started, there were famous cricketers like Sachin and Ganguly in the team… but still, he used to control the match from behind the stumps. His body language suggested that he could control the games,” Soni, who likes to imitate his cricket icon, told Hindu Last year.
Soni, who has got around 20 tattoos on his body, wanted a memorable tattoo that he would not regret for the rest of his life. After the family portrait on his body, Soni chose Dhoni.
Superfan Soni said, “With him at my back, I am sure, ‘I have Dhoni behind me’.”
