MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir set Internet ablaze with warm gesture after CSK vs KKR game at Chepauk | WATCH

Former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni and Kolkata Knight Riders’ mentor Gautam Gambhir have been true servants of Indian cricket. The two have performed vital roles in a number of victories of the nationwide group. While Gambhir has retired from all types of cricket and is in a assist workers function, Dhoni is within the twilight of his IPL profession after retiring from International cricket 4 years again. 

Two long-time IPL rivals Dhoni and Gambhir have been as soon as once more face-to-face with one another within the twenty second match of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai as CSK hosted KKR. The Super Kings ended KKR’s three-game unbeaten run in IPL 2024 and steamrolled them on a slow-batting floor. After the match ended, Dhoni and Gambhir shared a warm hug and smiles with one another as the 2 groups did the post-match meet-up. 

The video has gone viral on social media with a number of followers getting awestruck with the second. Watch a number of the reactions right here.

CSK have been too scorching to deal with for KKR, who got here unbeaten into this match. The MA Chidambaram Stadium, which had virtually nothing for the spinners within the preliminary two matches of the season, returned to its typical self of spin. Ravindra Jadeja reaped the rewards most with his mingy spell of three/18 in 4 overs, which derailed the Knight Riders to a modest rating of 137/9.

The crowd went bonkers when MS Dhoni got here out to bat at the Chepauk for the primary time within the season. Even captain Ruturaj Gaikwad had a ‘nostalgic’ second. “Little nostalgic for me. Remember my first fifty in IPL, Mahi bhai was with me and we finished the match in the same situation,” Gaikwad stated after the match.

The crowd was all rooting for the Super Kings and the KKR captain Shreyas Iyer even discovered it laborious to precise himself after the game. “It’s deafening out here, but I’ll try to express. We got a phenomenal start in the powerplay, but we lost consecutive wickets. We weren’t able to assess the conditions quickly after the powerplay, scoring runs wasn’t easy. They (CSK) know the conditions pretty well, they bowled according to their plans. Wasn’t easy (for the new batters) to go after them from the first ball. We were trying to construct the innings, but it didn’t fall in place according to the plan,” Iyer stated after the game.
