Suryakumar Yadav on Tuesday lit up social media with humurous twist to a post featuring MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube on his Instagram handle. Surya added a touch of cinematic humor by referencing a scene from the biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, where a young Dhoni strategizes during a tense chase.
Replacing the characters from the film with Dhoni and Dube, Surya wrote: “Mahi bhai – Strike dega toh tum bana lega? Dube – Try kar lenge. Mahi bhai – Try karna hai toh hum hi kar lete hai. Tum bas runout mat karwa dena.” (Dhoni Will you win it if I give you the strike? Dube I’ll try. Dhoni If it’s about trying, I’ll do it myself. Just don’t get me run out.)
Besides congratulating Dhoni and Dube, Surya also congratulated 17-year-old Mumbai teammate Ayush Mhatre for earning a spot in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) squad as a replacement for their injured skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad,

Dhoni-Dube helps CSK snap losing streak
Dhoni delivering a clutch performance to help CSK break their five-match losing streak. He and Dube stitched together a brilliant, unbeaten 57-run stand off just 27 balls to chase down 167 against the Lucknow Super Giants, sealing CSK’s second win of the season.
Coming in at No.7, Dhoni walked out with CSK needing 56 off the final 30 balls. The 43-year-old legend wasted no time, hammering back-to-back boundaries off Avesh Khan to end the 16th over. In the next, Dube added a four and Dhoni capped it with a six, swinging momentum CSK’s way. Although Avesh returned with a tight 18th over, Dhoni and Dube pounced on Shardul Thakur in the 19th, turning the game decisively in CSK’s favor.
Dhoni, who finished with a blistering 26* off 11 balls (4 fours, 1 six), was named Player of the Match — his first such honor in the IPL in six years. Meanwhile, Dube anchored the chase with a composed 43 off 37 balls, proving his mettle once again.
