MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir create a buzz online following CSK’s victory over KKR in IPL 2024.

MS Dhoni shared a warm embrace with his longtime IPL adversary Gautam Gambhir following CSK’s dominant victory over KKR at the Chepauk in IPL 2024.

It’s deafening out here, but I’ll try to express,” Shreyas Iyer told the official broadcaster after Chennai Super Kings stalwart MS Dhoni lit up the famous MA Chidambaram Stadium for the umpteenth time in the Indian Premier League on Monday. Nicknamed Thala, former CSK skipper Dhoni also warmly embraced his longtime IPL rival Gautam Gambhir at Chepauk. Returning to the monumental venue in Kolkata Knight Riders colours, the KKR mentor flashed a big smile when he met Dhoni following Kolkata’s first defeat of this season.

Dhoni sent Chepauk into a frenzy with his arrival as Thala.

CSK only needed three runs to wrap up the game in their favour when Dhoni opted to spring a surprise for the Chennai loyalist. Instead of continuing to bat at the No.8 position, Dhoni sanctioned his promotion as the former skipper batted ahead of youngster Sameer Rizvi, senior batter Ajinkya Rahane and southpaw Ravindra Jadeja on Monday night. Not for the first time and ‘definitely not’ the last – the Chepauk crowd was roaring with Dhoni-Dhoni chants when the CSK icon stepped out to finish things off in style for the hosts

One of the greatest captains in the history of IPL, Gambhir reserved special praise for Dhoni in the lead-up to the mouthwatering encounter between the former champions.
