CSK Fan Who Paid Rs 64,000 to Watch Dhoni Yet to Pay Daughters' School Fees

Cricket in India isn’t just a sport; it’s a fervent affair. And when it comes to MS Dhoni, the excitement reaches unparalleled heights. Fans of all ages, from young to old, go to great lengths to catch a glimpse of their beloved Thala Dhoni live on the field during the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, one ardent Chennai Super Kings supporter took this passion to a whole new level by disclosing that he shelled out a staggering Rs. 64,000 for tickets to a CSK match. But wait, there’s more.

In an interview with the Sportswalk Chennai channel, the man, speaking in his native tongue, revealed, “I didn’t get the tickets, so I bought them in black. It was a total of Rs. 64,000. I am yet to pay the school fees. But we wanted to see MS Dhoni just once.” While he and his three daughters were ecstatic to witness Dhoni on the field, the revelation that he hadn’t yet paid his daughters’ school fees raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate online, with most giving a resounding thumbs down.

Here’s the Viral Video:

“This person is from different world of stupidity,” remarked one user. Another chimed in, “Priorities! Dhoni will not help this father’s kids, to get education! Wth is this? We stopped going to watch #CSK in #chennai as the ticket prices were high! Ppl shd understand it’s all business, if the demand drops prices will automatically come down!”

A third commenter added, “Dhoni will himself be disappointed by your approach. Please pay your children school fee rather than spending money to watch Dhoni.”

However, some argued that the video didn’t necessarily imply that the father couldn’t afford to pay the fees and instead spent it on IPL tickets; it was simply an expression of his joy. “This guy didn’t mean he cannot afford to pay school fees, these days buying an IPL ticket is reachable only for the rich. Spending 64k on IPL tickets means he can lavishly spend on entertainment. So don’t feel pity for people like this and make it a discussion” opined one commenter.

“Sir, he didn’t say he doesn’t have money. He says we will do it later,” added another.
