People loved seeing this moment and shared the video online. The crowd at the stadium cheered loudly when Dhoni came to bat. Even Gaikwad felt nostalgic seeing Dhoni play.
CSK’s Ravindra Jadeja bowled well, limiting KKR to a low score. Dhoni’s presence made the crowd go wild, making it hard for KKR’s captain, Shreyas Iyer, to talk after the game.
Iyer praised CSK’s good understanding of the pitch and smart bowling. Despite a good start, KKR couldn’t score much due to CSK’s strong game plan.
The match wasn’t just about cricket; it also showed the bond between Dhoni and Gambhir, reminding everyone of the spirit of the game.
