Thala for a reason 

"Thala for a reason" is a satirical meme originating in India among cricket fans of MS Dhoni, mocking the extreme adulation of his fanboys who attribute everything to him. It implies that Dhoni's luck is involved in every situation where the number 7 appears, his jersey number, and is humorously used to poke fun at his fanboys. In short, it highlights the excessive admiration for Dhoni and mocks the tendency to attribute his success to divine intervention by saying "thala for a reason" whenever number 7 or anything Dhoni-related appears.
Person 1: "Did you know that India has won international cricket tournaments 7 times?"
Person 2: "Thala for a reason, right? Because his lucky number 7 is always at work!"
