The much-anticipated Pran Pratistha ceremony of the Lord Ram Temple took place on Monday, January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi completing the auspicious rituals. The event saw a star-studded attendance, with Bollywood icons like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajnikanth joining hands with cricketing legends, including Sachin Tendulkar, to mark the historic occasion.

MS Dhoni’s absence raises eyebrows

Several cricketing luminaries, such as Venkatesh Prasad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mithali Raj, and Anil Kumble, graced the ceremony, expressing their joy at being part of this significant event. Notably, modern-day cricket stalwarts like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were also invited to attend the grand ceremony in Ayodhya. However, the absence of former skipper MS Dhoni left fans disheartened and sparked a wave of disappointment.

Following Dhoni’s absence from the Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha ceremony, fans took to social media platforms to express their disappointment and frustration. While understanding the commitments of Rohit and Kohli ahead of the India-England Test series, fans struggled to comprehend why Dhoni chose not to attend.

• Virat Kohli went to Ayodhya but couldn’t attend the Pran Pratishtha due to personal reasons.

• Rohit Sharma did not attend because he wasn’t invited.

Kohli not attending yesterday’s event is understandable, but why didn’t Thala Dhoni attend? 🤔

Just to let you know
Thala Dhoni prefers smoking hookah with MC Stan over attending Ram Mandir pran pratishtha 👍

•Virat Kohli do a insta post for lakhs but didn’t even put up a story for Ram Mandir

•Dhoni can attend any random event but couldn’t visit Ram Mandir

•Rohit Sharma can make reel on bollywood song put didn’t uttered a word on Ram Mandir

Do they really deserve to role models?

Even Alia Bhatt attended Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony but Mahendra Singh Dhoni didn’t.

Just saying

I don’t know Dhoni’s political inclination, but he missed a once-in-a-lifetime moment by not attending the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha.

Dhoni ke pass hookah peena ka time hai, Chapri MC stan sai milne ka time hai lekin invitation milne me baad bhi Ram Mandir jaane ka time nhi hai🤡🤡

Virat & Dhoni should have come to Ayodhya. Even their 10 sec presence on national media could have motivated many youngsters towards the righteous path. Kohli seems to have some family issues as he abstained from the test series against Eng but Dhoni should not have any excuse.…

Really dissappointed with Dhoni

He has time for bollywood parties and stupid ads with chhapris but didn’t visit Ram Mandir, not even a post.

Sad that Dhoni fans are justifying this too.

— Ankur Singh (@iAnkurSingh) January 23, 2024

MS Dhoni kal Ram mandir mein nahi aaye. Jabki unko tho invite kiya gya tha. Kya reason raha hoga.Dhoni aajkal Bollywood walo se mil rahe h, gym jaa rhe h, dubai dost ka birthday celebrate kar rhe h, social media par unka hairstyle ki charcha rehti hai. Lekin ram mandir nhi gye 🤔

Speaking about Indian cricket scenario, fans will soon see the Indian players participating in the five-match Test series, starting January 25 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. While Rohit will continue to lead the side, Kohli will not be available for the first two matches as the former skipper has withdrawn citing personal reasons.
