A simple video of former India cricket captain M S Dhoni has prompted netizens to trend Candy Crush Saga on Twitter. Earlier this month, Nitika Jaiswal, an air hostess, shared a video that showed her offering a set of treats to Dhoni, who was on her flight.
In the video, Dhoni graciously accepts a packet and politely returns the rest of them. While sharing this clip, Jaiswal wrote, “Okay….I admit !!! I could not stop blushing ☺️ ☺️ not for the entire flight but for the entire day ☺️ 😚 I can’t believe I met him like this 😍 😍 My all time crush 😍 my love 💓 @mahi7781 No doubt such a great human being, so humble and down to earth person 🤗 💓 Oh my God…I’m still smiling 🙈 ☺️ 😚 #dhoni #mahi #love #fan #respect #justfortunate #crew #forever6e #reels #reelitfeelit”.
As this video raked in thousands of likes, many netizens noticed that Dhoni was playing a game of Candy Crush Saga on an iPad when Jaiswal approached him. Soon #CandyCrush began trending on Twitter as Dhoni fans tweeted about their favourite cricketer indulging in the popular game.

In 2021, in a video shared by the Chennai Super Kings on Twitter, Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Singh spoke about how the cricketer is an avid gamer. “You know, Mahi’s got a thinking brain, it doesn’t rest. So, I think when he plays video games like Call of Duty or be it PUBG or whatever, I think it just helps him divert his mind, which is a good thing,” she said in the video.
