Dhoni emotional gesture to Kuldeep Yadav after the match of CSK against DC
On Wednesday, The Chennai Super Kings took another strong step towards securing their place in the playoffs of Indian Premier League season 2023 as they defeated Delhi Capitals by 27 runs in Chennai. The CSK gave an impressive performance on a slow surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium as they posted an target of 167 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs whereas in reply, the Capitals could only reach 140/8.
After the game between CSK and DC finished, Dhoni had a heartwarming reunion with left-arm spinner of Delhi Capitals Kuldeep Yadav, who spent a couple of his initial years with Team India alongside MS Dhoni. The Captain of CSK played an important role in both, Kuldeep and Yuzvendra Chahal's development in their early years, passing on important instructions to the duo from behind the wickets. And so, as Dhoni met Kuldeep, he put his hand on his head as a sign of affection before the duo shared a hug.
