It’s always rare to see fans celebrating when their own player gets out, but that’s exactly what we recently witnessed in the match between CSK and MI. Ravindra Jadeja was run out due to a miscommunication with Rachin Ravindra. Although the team eventually crossed the finish line, what grabbed attention was the fans’ loud cheers—all because of one reason, the legendary former CSK captain and wicketkeeper-batter, MS Dhoni, stepped onto the field.
Selfless Dhoni!
In Dhoni’s case, this was nothing new, as we have seen similar moments in the past. More importantly, his selflessness was once again on display, something that has been a hallmark of his career. Time and again, Dhoni has given match-winning players the opportunity to finish the game. One of the most notable instances was in the 2014 T20 World Cup semi-final vs South Africa, where he allowed Virat Kohli to finish the game.
Now, he did the same once again, this time for Rachin Ravindra, who played a match-winning knock, remained unbeaten till the end, and helped CSK chase down a tricky target of 156. Fans expected Dhoni to finish in style, but he unselfishly took a single, allowing Ravindra to smash a six and seal the victory.
Take a look at how social media reacted to Dhoni’s arrival at the crease and his selfless gesture.
