When legendary batter Mahendra Singh Dhoni entered the ground against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Monday night, the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai witnessed a thunderous display of support for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The joy of the stadium upon seeing Dhoni reached such a level that KKR all-rounder Andre Russell was seen covering his ears to save himself from the noise.
When Dhoni arrived at the crease with CSK needing just three runs to win, the home crowd let out a deafening roar. During the eruption, the equipment used by broadcasters recorded a maximum noise level of 125 decibels.
KKR all-rounder Andre Russell was seen covering his ears in reaction to the noise, demonstrating the fervent support Chennai fans have for their beloved “Thala.”. Russell’s reaction was caught on camera, and it quickly went viral on social media.
