Watch: Dhoni's special message to his super fan in TN, who proved 'Thala' will always be 'Thala'!

MS Dhoni has earned millions of true fans under the sun and moon despite debacles and failures on the field. For his fans, victory or defeat is secondary as they firstly prioritize to see their favorite 'Thala' batting and celebrate him while he was on the field. Many would come to the stadium to rejoice in his play and to see him face to face. Dhoni's fans would relish every IPL season as Dhoni had equally gained reputation being the captain of CSK and for this year's IPL, Dhoni had seen a very special fan from Tamil Nadu. 

Gopikrishnan is a native of Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu and he had been working in Dubai for many years. He has been an ardent fan of MS Dhoni and had shown his unparalleled love for CSK in thick and thin.  Though he worked in Dubai, he had made sure that he attends the CSK match in Chennai and watches Dhoni's play in the stadium. This year, COVID-19 had spoiled his dream and the dreams of millions of fans. 

As COVID-19 outbreak and the restrictions had pushed to shift the game from India to the UAE, Gopikrishnan, now in Cuddalore, got locked up in his hometown and pushed to watch the match through TV. However, no lockdown can curb his love towards MS Dhoni and he had proved that by his initiative of making his home 'Yellove'.  Being an ardent fan of MS Dhoni, Gopikrishnan had colored his home in Yellow and painted the CSK logo across his home and he has done it with the full support from his family.

Gopikrishnan had spent Rs 1.50 lakh on making his home turn yellow and he also had placed the portraits of Dhoni on the front walls while the sidewall of his house has the CSK logo with the tagline of 'Whistle Podu' written on it. His home welcomes everyone with the sign of 'Home of Dhoni fan' at the entrance as the whole family had captured the moment of getting 'Dhonified'. His house had received major attention across the nation and from the CSK fans.

In his video message, MS Dhoni said, "I saw it on Instagram and I feel it's a great gesture and at the same time it's not only about me, but they (Gopikrishnan's family) are the biggest fan of CSK also. The way they have done it, everybody will know what they are talking about, it shows the kind of feeling that they have towards CSK and towards me. You know it's not something that can be done very easily, you say it you decide, the whole family needs to agree on that and then you go ahead with something like that". 

Dhoni stated "This is something that will stay, you know it's not like an Instagram and Twitter post where you post it and change it overnight. This is something that will stay and I would like to say thank you to the full family and I think it's a great gesture". Gopikrishnan is in the sky of dreams after he received a special message from his favorite MS Dhoni and captain cool's video message has been winning hearts as the fans show that Dhoni will always be Thala despite the team's defeat in the current season of the IPL.

Speaking about his Yellove home, Gopikrishnan said, "Many had started speaking negatively about Dhoni as his play was not up to the mark in this IPL. But Thala will always be 'Thala'. So I thought of spreading some positivity and I started painting his house and I painted what I had in my mind". 

Earlier, Gopikrishnan had said that he was disappointed that he can't be able to watch Dhoni's game live and he wanted to motivate him regardless of a victory or defeat. He said that the fans will keep supporting MS Dhoni. Gopikrishnan has been showering with compliments as he had taken the bond to another level.
