MS Dhoni Mysterious Earpiece: During the first ODI match between India and England at the Edgbaston ground in Birmingham, a face was seen in the stands who grabbed more headlines than the players playing on the field. India’s most successful and former captain MS Dhoni himself reached the stadium to enjoy this high-voltage match. As soon as the camera turned towards the stands and Dhoni’s photo appeared on the screen, there was no limit to the happiness of the fans. However, Dhoni’s presence on social media created a stir not just because of his arrival, but a small device fitted in his ear attracted everyone’s attention. Dhoni kept watching the match with it in his ears.
After all, what is the device fitted in Dhoni’s ear?
Actually, the device that MS Dhoni wore in his ear is actually a miniature stadium radio receiver. It is a small device that allows fans sitting inside the stadium to listen to live ball-by-ball commentary while watching the match. This is an old and popular traditional feature on the cricket grounds of England. There has been a long tradition of listening to radio commentary on the field. Broadcasters broadcast live audio to this device, which fans can easily listen to through these small receivers.
Safe to say, this kid has the best ‘guess who I sat next to’ story ever.

Through this device, fans sitting in the stadium can listen to the live action as well as expert analysis, player insights and accurate commentary in real-time, instead of relying on big screens or public announcements on the field. Fans coming to watch the match can buy or rent this receiver from the stadium before the start of the match. It works entirely on a local transmission system, so its signal stops receiving once it goes out of the stadium’s range.
Eat popcorn with little fan
MS Dhoni also made a little fan’s day during this match. Actually, a small fan was watching the match near him and eating popcorn. The child shared his popcorn with Mahi and Dhoni also ate popcorn to keep the child’s heart. Who won everyone’s heart.
