Adam Gilchrist Reaction to MS Dhoni New Bat Sticker: ‘Just a Local Store

The IPL 2024 is still over a month away, but because of none other than MS Dhoni, the competition has already gained momentum. The skipper of the Chennai Super Kings, who is expected to play in his final IPL season, has begun exercising in the nets with his classic long locks. Similar to Dhoni, this is enough to have the internet community going completely crazy. Dhoni, decked out in yellow, ready to go, bat and pads. That’s what dreams are made of, at least for those in the ‘Yellove’ army. Still, Dhoni’s bat garnered greater media attention than the player for the first time. The most popular photo from last week was of Dhoni working out while sporting a brand-new “Prime Sports” decal. In the renowned Indian cricketer’s documentary, “MS Dhoni, the Untold story,” Dhoni paid homage to his childhood friend Paramjit Singh, who runs a sports company of the same name.

As Dhoni’s cricket career draws to a close, he used the sticker as a touching farewell to Paramjit, who was instrumental in helping him along the way and helped get MSD’s first bat sponsor. It’s not really surprising that Dhoni, who has a great heart, would do something so sweet as he participated in the World Cup in 2019 before making his farewell appearance for India. However, Adam Gilchrist’s response to the entire development is a bit unexpected. During the second Twenty20 International between Australia and the West Indies, the renowned Australian wicketkeeper was describing Prime Sports as “just a local store.” When Michael Hussey brought up the IPL 2024 launch, the conversation regarding Dhoni got underway.

IPL starting March 22?

“I had to get to India ten days before to the start of the competition. We are leaving in March, possibly on the 11th. eagerly anticipating it. Fantastic tournament, it truly is. top players from every continent. The finest Indian athletes are competing; it’s amazing. The clamor created by the throng is incredible. the atmosphere beneath the earth. And it’s MS Dhoni again. He must be hitting balls in the nets already, he remarked.At which point Gilchrist intervened and brought up the subject of the bat stickers. “I witnessed MS Dhoni hitting a few balls in the nets. His bat now has a fresh bat sticker. Only a nearby sports store owned by one of his classmates. Just whack the brand name on your bat to increase sales,” he said.

This signifies the completion of a circle in a sense. Dhoni had stated at the beginning of his career that he had modeled his batting after the devastating Gilchrist, the great Australian being one of his idols. Gilchrist’s remarks regarding Dhoni’s excellence serve as the ideal coda to the tale, given that one player has been retired for a long time and the other is almost ready to ride into the sunset.
