As the game is progressing in the Season 11 of Indian Premier League, fans have chosen their favourite teams and are cheering for them to go ahead in the finals. But as the format of the game is so unique, some sports buffs might like one team, but be fond of a player from another team. Ever thought how they could be loyal to both? What would they do when both their favourites play against each other? Which jersey would they wear? Well, looks like we have found one IPL fan, who has the solution to the dilemma.

A video that has surfaced on social media shows a Mumbai Indians fan cheering for MS Dhoni during a match played between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. At one point, he is seen shouting his lungs out and cheering for the men in blue and as soon as Dhoni walks on the pitch, he takes off the blue jersey and wears a yellow one.

The story doesn’t end here. Apparently, this video was also shared by Shiv Sena’s Youth Wing leader Aaditya Thackeray on Twitter wherein he cracks a joke on how that guy looks similar to him. “Looks like me?? Don’t know. Would he be comfy in politics? Sure!” he tweeted.

The video that did the rounds on the Internet a while ago has gone super viral and had garnered more than 10,000 views on the micro-blogging site, at the time of writing. The guy in the video also came across it and tweeted a justification on the changing “allegiances” during an IPL match.

I did it as a tribute to @msdhoni because he has given us so much as Indian cricket fans!
I will always support Mumbai Indians because I belong here. But I’ll never forget everything that Dhoni has given us.

I apologise if anyone hasn’t liked it. https://t.co/SUzmvALeIW

While talking to indianexpress.com Samant talked about his love for Mumbai Indians ever since IPL started and how he adores MS Dhoni for everything that he has given Indian Cricket and cricket fans on the global level. “I didn’t support two different teams. I have been a die-hard MI fan since the first edition of IPL. And also a Dhoni fan for a long time. That’s the reason why I switched my jersey when Dhoni came in to bat. It was a tribute from me to him for everything that he has given us,” he said.
