Cricket fans think that Suresh Raina has taken a brutal dig at his former teammate Harbhajan Singh through a comment on MS Dhoni’s latest advertisement ahead of IPL 2025.
While Suresh Raina didn’t mention Harbhajan’s name, fans speculated that his comment was directed at Harbhajan Singh. All three players Raina, Harbhajan, and Dhoni used to play for India together at one time.
The trio also served a few years for Chennai Super Kings and were also involved in the team’s title-winning run in the 2018 IPL. MS Dhoni was the team’s captain as CSK clinched their third IPL title.

However, the fans were quick to realize that Raina was targeting Harbhajan in this video and compared him to a ‘snake’. The former India offspinner was brutally trolled in the comments section later.
Harbhajan Singh’s statements against MS Dhoni
Harbhajan has given some statements against Dhoni in the past which has not gone down well with the latter’s fans. Last year, Harbhajan termed Rohit Sharma as a better captain than Dhoni by claiming that the former goes to his players and has a better bond with them.
The former India spinner also claimed that he hasn’t spoken to Dhoni in the past decade. According to Harbhajan, both of them discussed the plans when they used to play for CSK together, otherwise, they did not speak at all.
Harbhajan has also been critical of the people giving Dhoni the credit for India’s 2011 ODI World Cup win. The former CSK spinner calls it a team effort and refuses to give Dhoni all the credit for India’s iconic World Cup triumph.
MS Dhoni to play IPL 2025
While Harbhajan and Raina have retired from the game, Dhoni is still active in the IPL, where he is representing Chennai Super Kings. Despite rumors over his retirement, the former CSK captain vows to enjoy the game to the fullest.
It was under Dhoni’s leadership that CSK last won an IPL trophy (in 2023), However, Dhoni gave up the captaincy ahead of the IPL 2024 and handed it over to Ruturaj Gaikwad with an aim for a smoother transition.
The legendary wicketkeeper has been battling injuries in the last few years and has dropped down in the batting order. He has shuffled his batting position lower down the order and focuses on scoring quick runs towards the end.
