Ambati Rayudu stands tall against haters while supporting MS Dhoni; ‘stop spending on paid pr & donate that to charity’

Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Ambati Rayudu finally broke silence against the hate messages he received for supporting legendary MS Dhoni in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). The former CSK captain has been under criticism for his batting position on IPL 2025.

But despite the tough times, Rayudu has always defended Dhoni and CSK through his commentary or comments during the post, mid and pre-match shows at Star Sports.

However, his comments didn’t go well with a lot of fans who took to social media to troll Rayudu. Taking to X, the former India international said he was and will always be a fan of Dhoni.  

“I was a Thala’s fan, I am a Thala’s fan, I will always be a Thala’s fan. No matter what anyone thinks or does. It will not make a one percent difference. So please stop spending money on paid pr and donate that to charity. Lot of underprivileged people can benefit,” Rayudu said.
