The visuals quickly went viral on social media, with fans pouring in love and admiration for the legendary cricketer and his family.
The Dhoni family’s presence added an emotional touch to the already electrifying atmosphere at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, where CSK is hosting the Delhi Capitals.
Meanwhile, on the field, Delhi Capitals are 95/3 in 11.1 overs, after being put in to bat by CSK. KL Rahul remains unbeaten on 37 off 27 balls, while Axar Patel, who struck a quick 21 off 14, was just dismissed by Noor Ahmad with a sharp googly. Earlier, Abishek Porel scored 33 off 20 before falling to Ravindra Jadeja.
