Deepak Chahar had asked for an autograph from MS Dhoni after IPL 2023 final. (Screengrab) After Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni led his team to their fifth IPL title in the final on Sunday, MSD was visibly in a spirited mood.
Dhoni was often spotted celebrating with his teammates as he ran across the ground.
However, in a hilarious moment which was caught on camera, when seamer Deepak Chahar went up to Dhoni for an autograph from Dhoni, the 41-year-old promptly denied him the request.
It seemed like Dhoni was also referring to the moment when Chahar dropped Gill, the tournament’s leading scorer, at square leg when the batter was on three.
But Dhoni finally ended up signing Chahar’s shirt and the beautiful moment went viral on social media as well.
