LEGENDARY INDIAN CRICKETER'S TOTALLY UNEXPECTED REACTION AS DHONI GUIDES CSK TO VICTORY!
Home > News Shots > SportsFormer India captain Sunil Gavaskar's tribute to CSK wicketkeeper Dhoni after Jadeja's bow has been gaining attention on the internet.
The IPL league match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians ended recently. Batting first, Mumbai scored 155 for 7 in the allotted 20 overs. Young Tilak Varma top-scored with 51 and Suryakumar Yadav with 32.
Following this, the Chennai team batted towards the target of 156 to win and waited from the beginning. Opening batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad was ducked out and Mitchell Santner was out for 11. This was followed by Robin Uthappa (30) and Ambati Rayudu (40). This was followed by Shivam Dube (13) and skipper Jadeja (3).
In this predicament, Dhoni and Pretorius joined together. Pretorius, who scored 22 runs, including 2 fours and 1 six, was dismissed in the first ball of the last over. So it took 16 runs in the last 4 balls to win. Dhoni, who was on the field at the time, played aggressively and hit 6, 4, 2, 4 to lead CSK to victory.
At this point after the match, CSK captain Jadeja took off his hat and bowed to Dhoni. The video was then released on the Internet and was well received by fans. Former India captain and cricket commentator Sunil Gavaskar too bowed down and appreciated Dhoni on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Sunil Gavaskar said, "At that particular situation, under so much pressure, only MS Dhoni could have done it. Not for a second, did he think that he was not going to be able to do it. It's amazing how takes the game right to the end. He makes the bowler bowl to what he wants."
