Dhoni and Chahar share a healthy camaraderie between them.
On the eve of the marquee clash, CSK’s stand-in skipper MS Dhoni batted in the nets, and during that, he playfully ran towards his former IPL teammate Deepak Chahar to hit him with the bat.
Chahar, who played for CSK from 2018 to 2024, was signed by MI in the mega auction last year for INR 9.25 crore. He tried to poke Dhoni during the pre-match net session, after which the CSK legend marched towards him with the bat in an attempt to hit him playfully.
CSK shared a video of the hilarious moment between the two on social media platform X, and it went viral within no time.
Here’s the clip:
Earlier in the season, CSK had defeated MI by four wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Both teams are currently languishing in the bottom half of the points table – MI at the seventh spot and CSK at the last position.
