Everything he touches turns to gold, and that’s why he’s named Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Suresh Raina
Mumbai: Chennai Super Kings booked a berth in the 2023 TATA IPL Finals after completing a 15-run win over the reigning champions, Gujarat Titans on Tuesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK’s innings was spearheaded by Ruturaj Gaikwad scoring 60 runs (44b, 7×4, 1×6) en route to a 173-run target for Gujarat. The Titans couldn’t match up, getting bowled out with 157 runs on the board with Shubman Gill as their biggest contributor, adding 42 runs (38b, 4×4, 1×6). This will be Chennai’s tenth appearance in the IPL Finals and was their first win against the Gujarat Titans since the franchise’s inception in the 2022 season.
MS Dhoni’s sparkling record as a captain in the TATA IPL has further improved by him taking Chennai to their tenth finals. He currently has four titles to his name and has moved one step closer to winning his fifth. JioCinema TATA IPL expert Suresh Raina hailed Dhoni’s ability to lead teams to this late stage in the IPL consistently, “Look at how they reached the Finals, 14 season 10 Finals, I think it’s a great achievement. MS Dhoni kept it simple. He deserves credit and Ruturaj (Gaikwad) had told me that CSK wants to win the title for Dhoni. Entire India wants to see Dhoni win the IPL. But what we got to see today is that it’s very challenging to beat Chennai on this ground… Everything he touches turns to gold, and that’s why he’s named Mahendra Singh Dhoni.”
The dismissal of Hardik Pandya in the sixth over played a massive role in this win for Chennai. JioCinema TATA IPL expert Parthiv Patel explained the careful instructions that Dhoni passed on to Maheesh Theekshana to ensure Pandya’s wicket would fall, “MS Dhoni tried to tell Theekshana to bowl within the stump and treated the off-side like a ring because they gave no room to Hardik and he didn’t have the chance to hit the ball from below and find the gap because there were six fielders on that side. There was only one choice, to hit it over the top, but the ball was on the stump, which meant he had to create his own room. That’s why he lost his wicket. Nobody understands moments like that better than MS Dhoni, what his team needs in that particular moment, and which bowler is needed. He understands that well and that is why this team can continuously come back and every player recognizes MSD’s contributions.”
The Super Kings are not easy to beat, especially at their home stadium where the Qualifier took place. JioCinema TATA IPL expert AB de Villiers explained how teams walk into the Chepauk Stadium intimidated by CSK and Dhoni, “I feel there is an intimidating factor. Whether it’s the ground or it’s the MSD factor, opposition teams arrive thinking they have to play extraordinary cricket to beat them. But when you look at the scoreboard, you tend to lose by small margins. It’s 10 or 15 runs, being no-ball free, it’s small things that turn a game upside down. MSD and his troops tend to get it right, when they play at home, when they play in big Finals, you’ll see what they come up with.”

Insight Cosmetics partners with Pinda for homegrown beauty push
New campaign ‘Kudiye… ghar ki yaad nahi aayi tujhe?’ celebrates toxin-free, skin-first Indian formulations over imported ideals.
MUMBAI: Insight Cosmetics has just turned the beauty narrative on its head and it’s doing it with a very familiar face. The fast-growing Indian beauty brand has teamed up with Udaybir Sandhu, better known as Pinda from the hit series Dhurandhar 2, for a campaign that proudly puts “Made in India” at the centre. Titled “Kudiye… ghar ki yaad nahi aayi tujhe?”, the film taps into that deeply relatable feeling of rediscovering something better right at home, challenging the long-held notion that international always equals superior.
Instead of chasing global trends, Insight is highlighting what it does best: skin-first, ingredient-conscious, toxin-free formulations designed specifically for Indian skin tones, textures and climates. The campaign positions sattu-level honesty and performance as the new standard confident, rooted and globally competitive.
Insight Cosmetics director and spokesperson Mihir Jain said, “Insight has always believed that India doesn’t need to look outward for validation. We have the talent, the understanding, and the capability to create world-class beauty products right here. Pinda represents that same confidence rooted, real, and unapologetically Indian.”
Pinda added, “There’s real pride in representing something that’s ours. For too long, we’ve been told that better comes from outside. Insight is changing that. This is about backing what’s made for us, trusting what understands us, and owning our identity with confidence.”
The collaboration rests on four clear pillars, proudly homegrown innovation, a strict toxin-free promise, a genuine skin-first approach, and deep cultural relevance that speaks to a generation both rooted in India and globally aware.
In a market long dazzled by foreign labels, Insight Cosmetics and Pinda are quietly proving that the most powerful beauty move is the one that feels like home. The campaign doesn’t just sell products, it sells a mindset, that the best glow is the one you already recognise. And right now, that glow is proudly, unapologetically Indian.
