Selfie or Autograph? Rohit Sharma's Naughty Question Leaves MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev in Awe

Cricket is not just a sport in India; it's an emotion, a phenomenon that brings people together, creating memories on and off the field. With the upcoming 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season just around the corner, a new video featuring three of India's all-time cricket captains—Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma—has been making waves on social media. The video, which is a part of the promotional campaign for the forthcoming IPL season, has cricket fans in a state of frenzy.

A Viral Video That Took the Internet by Storm

The much-awaited video has Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni sharing a panel chair, seemingly looking for some sort of spark in there. Their expressions, however, speak volumes about something else—boredom—and it appears, until Rohit Sharma shows up to bring an immediate mood booster, winning over the hearts of two cricketing legends. That being said, the actual magic was hijacked by an off-stage quip moment that came soon after.

As soon as the cameras stopped rolling, Rohit naively asked his seniors, "Do you need an autograph or a selfie?" The line, delivered with a cheeky grin, surprised Kapil and Dhoni for a moment too. When Rohit realized the playfulness of his words immediately and apologized for the same in a good-natured mood, it proved to be a friendly joke between two sporting legends. The moment became all the more endearing in the eyes of the fans.

The IPL Rivalry-CSK vs MI – A Clash of Titans

The video surfaced just ahead of the much-anticipated IPL 2025 season, where two of the most powerful franchises—Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI)—will lock horns in what has been described as the 'El Clasico' of the IPL. The game, to be held at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, is likely to be a battle royale between these five-time champions.

Seasoned cricketer Harbhajan Singh also entered the discussion regarding the legendary CSK-MI duel, comparing the two teams' matches with India-Pakistan clashes in international cricket. "CSK vs MI is the India-Pakistan of the IPL," he recently told JioStar. "Their supporters are incredibly loyal, and every game between them is a high-stakes affair. Both sides have a tradition of bringing forth legendary players, and winning against the other is news for the front pages."

MS Dhoni’s IPL Journey-Will 2025 Be His Last Season?

For the CSK fans, the question of the moment going into IPL 2025 is what lies ahead for MS Dhoni. The great captain, who took India to numerous ICC titles, will again wear the yellow jersey. But if this will be his swan song is in doubt.

Dhoni called it quits with international cricket in 2020, but his IPL career has remained on fire. CSK retained him for the 2025 season at Rs 4 crore under the new five-year old uncapped player retention policy. CSK had a poor last season, falling short of the playoffs by a close margin after a poor net run rate and finishing at the fifth spot. This year, under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK hopes to make a strong comeback, and Dhoni’s experience will be crucial in guiding the team towards their sixth title.

Rohit Sharma's New Challenge Under Hardik Pandya

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is gearing up to face another challenge during this season of the IPL. Having taken five IPL titles with Mumbai Indians, he will now be playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. While Rohit remains a part of the team, this captaincy switch is certain to change the dynamics of the team. Fans are eager to see how MI does under Hardik's captaincy and how Rohit acclimatizes to his new role.

Even after the change in leadership, Rohit is on a mission to lift a record-seventh IPL trophy. His inclusion in the MI team will prove crucial, not just for his batting abilities but also for his experience in handling the high-pressure games.

As the IPL 2025 season kicks off, the excitement among cricket fans is at an all-time high. The tournament promises intense rivalries, thrilling matches, and moments of pure cricketing genius. Whether it’s the electrifying battle between CSK and MI, Dhoni’s potential farewell season, or Rohit’s transition under a new captain, there is no shortage of storylines to follow.

The viral clip featuring Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma was a perfect precursor to the drama and entertainment that IPL always has in store. It not only brought forth the legends of the game but also the close friendships they share with each other after the game is over.

So, with cricket mania once again taking over, the question is—are you given the chance, would you ask for a selfie or an autograph from these cricket heroes?
