In a moment that stood out after Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s emphatic 50-run victory over Chennai Super Kings, Rajat Patidar earned widespread praise for his respectful gesture towards MS Dhoni. As players lined up for post-match handshakes, Patidar was seen removing his cap before greeting the legendary former Indian captain, a mark of deep admiration and humility.
Despite CSK’s loss at Chepauk, the crowd continued to roar for Dhoni, who walked off with his usual calm demeanour. Patidar’s gesture added to the emotional scenes at the stadium, showing that even in competitive cricket, moments of mutual respect and legacy appreciation still shine through.
RCB’s win was their first at Chepauk since 2008, breaking a long-standing jinx at the venue. But beyond the result, it was this touching post-match moment that captured fans’ hearts online.
