Despite their six-wicket defeat to the Kolkata Knight Riders in their last home game of IPL 2023, Sunday was a special occasion for Chennai Super Kings and their fans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The loss notwithstanding, the mood was buoyant at Chepauk, as fans soaked in the moment while Dhoni led the team in a lap of honour.
As CSK players walked around their home stadium, Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar chased down the pack of players and asked CSK star Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his autograph. The former India captain, in fact, asked Dhoni to autograph his shirt, a touching tribute from one legend of the game to the other.
There has been a lot of speculation about whether Dhoni is playing in his last IPL. While he himself has not confirmed it, Chennai fans have spent the whole season showering the wicketkeeper-batter with unmatched adulation.
