Kris Srikkanth, who was the team mentor and brand ambassador of CSK in the inaugural edition of the IPL, blessed skipper MS Dhoni on Wednesday.
In a video that went viral on social, the former India captain and selection committee chief, was seen talking to Dhoni and wish him well for the season.
Meanwhile, it was a happy homecoming for the yellow brigage as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway and Moeen Ali starred for Chennai Super Kings to help the team post a 12-run win over Lucknow Super Giants at their fortress — the M A Chidambaram stadium — in their opening home match of the ongoing IPL on Monday.
Gaikwad slammed his second successive fifty and shared 110 runs for the opening wicket with Conway (47 off 29) as CSK posted a commanding 217 for 7 after being sent into bat.
Gaikwad, after his 92 in the opening game, smashed 57 off 31 with three fours and four sixes. Conway, who hit five boundaries and two hits over the fence, gave him good support.
