The ICC Champions Trophy is set to take place from February 19 in Pakistan and Dubai, with all of India's matches scheduled to be played in Dubai. Ahead of the tournament, broadcaster Star Sports has released a promotional video featuring former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The promo has quickly gone viral on social media.
In the video, Dhoni, known as "Captain Cool," shares his thoughts on the intensity of ICC tournaments in his signature style. He remarks that while he was always composed as a captain, watching the matches as a fan feels extremely "hot" (intense). Dhoni humorously adds that even his personal "DRS" (Dhoni Refrigeration System) is not enough to keep him cool.
"I played the Champions Trophy as a captain, making calm and collected decisions on the field. But this time, watching as a fan isn’t letting me stay cool. The competition in this tournament looks even more thrilling. Though our team is strong, a single loss could mean elimination. This tension is raising my temperature, both inside and outside," Dhoni says in the promo.
The video showcases Dhoni dressed in outfits made of ice blocks, including an ice-covered hat. Despite the chill, he admits that the intensity of the matches is overwhelming. At one point, he jokingly appeals to the third umpire for a "Dhoni Refrigeration System" (DRS) to cool himself down. In response, ice blocks are poured over him, emphasizing the humor of the situation. This entertaining promo has captivated audiences and is trending widely online.
India last won the Champions Trophy in 2013 under Dhoni’s captaincy. Now, after nearly 12 years, Rohit Sharma’s Team India is eager to reclaim the ICC title.
