WATCH: MS Dhoni becomes a bus driver, breaks traffic rule in new IPL 2022 TV commercial

CSK captain MS Dhoni has become a bus driver. Don't get shocked. He has become one in a TV commercial. 

The TV ad is for IPL 2022. 

The campaign features cricket legend Dhoni, in a brand-new avatar. The ad is directed by Vasan Bala, a well-known director and screenwriter.

The ad film shows Dhoni as a bus driver, who has stopped the bus in the middle of a very busy road. The traffic policeman arrives at the scene and questions Dhoni’s actions, to which Dhoni responds that they are watching the Super over of an intense IPL game. The traffic policeman treats this as a normal occurrence during IPL and drives away reinstating the fact that this fandom is normal for IPL matches.
