‘Thala For A Reason’ Trends On Twitter As Fans Connect Donald Trump’s Presidential Win In US To MS Dhoni
As former President Donald Trump inches closer to reclaiming the White House as the 47th president of the United States, a wave of quirky celebration has swept across the internet. Surprisingly, it isn’t just American political analysts fueling the chatter—it’s the ardent fanbase of Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni. Flooding X (formerly Twitter) with the hashtag #USAElection2024, Dhoni’s followers are connecting Trump’s resurgence to Dhoni’s iconic jersey number, 7. Because, naturally, Thala for a reason.
So, what’s sparking this frenzy? A sharp-eyed fan broke down the US Election Day date in true numerological fashion: “6-11-2024. 6+1+1+2+2+4=16. 1+6=7. Thala for a reason,” he posted, adding a split picture featuring Trump and Dhoni. The photo on one side was snapped during last year’s golf outing between the two, while the other showed Trump on a call, cheekily captioned, “We did it, MS.”

Others joined in the fun, noting Trump’s supposed lead in seven swing states and shouting, “Winning 7 out of 7 swing states. Thala for a reason.” The cherry on top? A collage circulating online claims that sharing a moment with Dhoni is a golden ticket to destiny, perhaps hinting at the Dhoni effect rubbing off on Trump.
For the uninitiated, “Thala” translates to “leader” in Tamil, a title Dhoni earned as captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Fans are relentless in linking everything auspicious back to his jersey number, 7. Whether it’s cricketing miracles or presidential elections halfway across the globe, Dhoni devotees have a knack for weaving in their hero’s aura into any storyline.
