MS Dhoni’s signature style isn’t about following trends, it’s rooted in self-assured comfort and functionality. Prioritising practicality, Captain Cool is never seen compromising on a touch of understated elegance. This unique blend has made him a modern-day style icon, and we couldn’t agree more.

But his latest look definitely turned heads and raised a few eyebrows with fans jokingly calling his new avatar “Jethalal Gada-coded.” Dhoni wore a navy blue half-sleeve shirt crafted from luxurious silk, featuring a crisp collared neckline and a button-down front that added a polished yet playful touch.

What really grabbed attention, though, was the shirt’s quirky print, which left the internet in splits. The design showcased musical notes scattered across the fabric, with a bold piano key motif on the chest spelling out the brand’s name. This unexpected artistic detail didn’t quite sit well with fans, many of whom felt it looked like something straight out of Jethalal Gada’s wardrobe, the beloved character from the Indian sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.


He completed the look with a pair of blue-washed denim jeans that added a relaxed, casual edge, and a sleek silver watch that brought just the right amount of luxe to the ensemble.
