WATCH: Gautam Gambhir hugs MS Dhoni, heartfelt video of special moment goes viral

For the last couple of years, a lot of media headlines, be it in the TV, newspapers or digital media have been focused on Gautam Gambhir’s hard stance while talking about the 2011 ODI World Cup final. Some of the experts and fans assumed that Gambhir is a critic of MS Dhoni and he has some grudges with the latter.

But eventually, as the saying goes, ‘all is well that ends well,’ something similar happened last night after the 22nd match of the ongoing IPL 2024 between CSK and KKR. Social media and fans were amazed when KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir went on to hug the former CSK skipper after the Men in Yellow won the game against KKR by 7 wickets.

The video of this special moment went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by Jio Cinema, the official digital broadcaster of the tournament.

Here’s the video of Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni hugging each other:

Speaking of the action of the match between CSK and KKR; the hosts’ skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and asked KKR to bat first. Batting first, KKR could score only 137 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Skipper Shreyas Iyer played a knock of 34 runs off 32 balls, with 3 fours and a six.

Besides him, Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi also scored 27 and 24 runs, respectively, for the struggling KKR in the first innings. Star pacer Tushar Deshpande and the veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scalped 3 wickets each for CSK, alongside 1 and 2 wickets picked by Maheesh Theekshana and Mustafizur Rahman.

While chasing the target, CSK comfortably chased down the target in 17.4 overs, scoring 141 runs for the loss of 3 wickets, courtesy of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy knock of 67 runs off 58 balls, with 9 fours.
