The race for the IPL 2023 trophy has reached new levels of intensity as each game passes by. This season has been a roller-coaster ride, barring Gujarat Titans, no other team has secured a place in the playoffs. Exciting contests on the field have kept the fans glued but there is one more factor that has made this season even more special: the buzz around MS Dhoni. The Chennai Super Kings captain is most likely to play his last IPL season.
Though nothing is confirmed, fans in Chennai thronged the stadium hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite cricketer on the field. One such devoted MS Dhoni fan has come up with a unique gift for the great player. Luckily, the fan was able to gift Dhoni himself. The heartwarming memento is a miniature version of the iconic Chepauk Stadium, where Captain Cool experienced some of the greatest moments of his career.
Chepauk Stadium means a lot to Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni. A short video capturing Dhoni’s reaction on the special gift has gone viral on social media. With a million-dollar smile on his face, Dhoni carefully examines the miniature stadium, which is illuminated by several built-in light sources. The gift has been placed on what appears to be a table in his hotel room, and Dhoni’s obvious happiness shows that he really appreciates the gesture.
Currently, in the IPL points table, Dhoni-led CSK are at the second spot with 7 wins from 13 matches. The Yellow Army have accumulated 15 points and are just one win away from qualifying for the playoffs. CSK will take on Delhi Capitals in their final league match on Saturday, May 20.
