Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might have lost to Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) on Sunday (April 15) at Mohali, but the match will be remembered for quite some time. Not only did it have a nail-biting finish, MS Dhoni’s knock of an unbeaten 79 was a brilliant display of his credibility as a finisher. He scored his highest IPL score and took the Punjab bowlers for a ride. What makes it even more special is the grit he displayed. Dhoni played the way he did while suffering from lower back pain and people on social media are full of praises for him.

What is also winning hearts is a Yuvraj Singh, who plays for Kings XI Punjab, and Dhoni’scamaraderie on the field. In a brief moment during the match, while Dhoni lay in pain, Singh came and playfully massaged the former’s head. And people on the Internet are loving it. While one said, “Look who is helping @msdhoni his friend @YUVSTRONG12,” another wrote, “Best friends? Naah. They are brothers.” Some even described it as “the best thing on the Internet.”
