Heartwarming Moment as Deepak Chahar Greets MS Dhoni with Respect
Deepak Chahar has often said that MS Dhoni played an enormous role in shaping his profession during their time at CSK. In a recent rehearsal, the Mumbai Indians bowler went as much as Dhoni for an off-the-cuff chat, but Dhoni quickly noticed that a social media team was recording them nearby.
Showing his usual humorousness, Dhoni pointed on the camera and jokingly told the cameraman to maneuver away. He said that in the event that they kept filming, they wouldn’t give you the option to have a correct private conversation.
“Tum aaya, saath mein camera leke aaya… bhagao isko (You got here together with a camera… get him out of here.),” Dhoni quipped.
“Arey yaar bhaiya, jao aap (Come on, brother, please go.),” Chahar playfully responded to the cameraman.
“Haan, warna baat nhi kar paenge ( Yes otherwise we won’t give you the option to speak.),” Dhoni added with shiny smile.

CSK Look to MS Dhoni as Ruturaj Gaikwad Struggles with Form
Chennai Super Kings badly need MS Dhoni back on the sector. He missed the primary six matches due to a calf injury before the season began. Within the 2025 season, Dhoni scored runs at a median of 24.50 with a strike rate of 135.17 in 14 matches.
Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been scuffling with each batting and leadership. He has scored just 82 runs thus far, averaging 13.66 with a strike rate of 112.32, and hasn’t crossed 30 in any of his six innings in Indian Premier League 2026.
His record as captain has also not been great since taking up before the 2024 season. He has won only 10 out of 25 matches as CSK captain, which is putting extra pressure on the team ahead of this necessary game.
