Chennai Super Kings returned to winning ways in the IPL by defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets in Chepauk on Monday. The joy of the home crowd increased when MS Dhoni came to bat after the third wicket fell. Then only three runs were left to win. Ravindra Jadeja's match-winning performance of three wickets for 18 runs helped defending champions Chennai Super Kings win, while Kolkata Knight Riders suffered their first defeat this season. Chennai bowlers restricted Kolkata to 137-9 on a slow pitch and then chased down the target with 14 balls to spare at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Gambhir hugged Dhoni
Two-time winners Kolkata faced defeat after three consecutive wins. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad played an unbeaten inning of 67 runs for the CSK team chasing the target and made a partnership of 70 runs with Daryl Mitchell for the second wicket. Mitchell scored 25 runs. After the match, MS Dhoni had a special meeting with KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir. Both were the heroes of the 2011 ODI World Cup win. In the final against Sri Lanka, Dhoni scored 91* while Gambhir scored 97 runs. After the match, Gambhir warmly hugged Dhoni and also talked to him for a few seconds. Both were seen smiling during this time.
Gambhir also hugged Virat
Earlier, during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gambhir had hugged Kohli. Gambhir's equation with these two cricketers has not been right. Gambhir has faced criticism many times regarding the first two. Last season, Virat and Gambhir clashed after the match between Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants. Gambhir was the mentor of Lucknow then. After this, many times Gambhir was teased by the fans in the stadium by calling him Kohli-Kohli or Dhoni-Dhoni. Gambhir has also made controversial comments against Dhoni many times. However, now everything seems to be going well.
Russell closed his ears, watched the video
At the same time, more than the match, another incident has attracted the attention of all the fans. After three wickets fell while chasing the target, no one thought that Mahi would come to bat. However, he came and went back after winning the match. Fans are very emotional about Dhoni and this was seen in Chepauk on Monday. As soon as Dhoni came on the field, the fans made a lot of noise and cheered him. The fans looked happy and during this time there was so much noise inside the ground that Kolkata Knight Riders fielder Andre Russell had to cover his ears. Its video has also surfaced. Last season too, when Dhoni came to bat, the fans cheered him loudly.
