One of the many admirable qualities of MS Dhoni is that he has never shied away from expressing disappointment. He has never been delusional.
People are showering their support to CSK even after their defeat. Some of MS Dhoni fans don’t bother his loss or victory, they just want to support him.

And last night was no exception to that. CSK is all but eliminated from the IPL this year and hopes now rest on permutations and combinations, which, if they end up in its favour, will be the most magical thing we have seen in ages. In simple words, it’s highly unlikely.
During the post-match ceremony last night, the captain admitted ‘it hurts’. He also talked about the inevitability of failure in cricket and made it clear that he will play the remaining matches. Because you know, ‘the captain can’t run away’.
"Captain can't run away, so I'll be playing in all the games, We have to make the most of the next three games and it is good preparation for the next year. Identify the batsmen, who will bowl at the death and hopefully the players will soak up the pressure"

Keeping all of this in mind, and the fact that CSK has performed brilliantly under his leadership in the past, Dhoni’s fans have come out in his support. Overwhelmingly. Here are some reactions we found on Twitter.
I am not fan of winning Dhoni, I am Fan of MS Dhoni?

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. #MSDhoni #Always_a_Champion #ChennaiSuperKings #onebadyear #PositiveVibesOnly pic.twitter.com/gqj2Klje9N

For CSK, the journey has been tough this year, performances sub-par, and the results disappointing. In many ways, it has been a test of loyalty for Dhoni’s fans – and they haven’t let him down.
