India’s most high-profile singer and songwriter also dedicated the song “Mangta Hai Kya” from the movie Rangeela to Suresh Raina while the song “Chale Chalo” to Dhoni.
Rahman said on Star Sports show Cricket Live, “I would like to dedicate the song 'Chale Chalo' from the movie Lagaan to MS Dhoni, as it motivates people to play cricket together.”
The iconic singer added, “For Suresh Raina, I would like to dedicate the song 'Mangta Hai Kya' because whenever I went to Bangalore, they were listening to a lot of songs from Rangeela.”
The 39-year-old former India captain went back to the pavilion for zero against DC last week.
