Virender Sehwag, the former Indian cricketer, had a humorous moment during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). As the cameraman continued to focus on MS Dhoni, Sehwag playfully remarked in his Haryanvi commentary on Jio Cinema:
“Bhai, Ruturaj ka bhi chehra dekha do ek do baar, vo bhi captain hai. Sirf Dhoni ka hi chehra dikha raha hai.”
Translation: “Brother, please show Rituraj’s face as well; he is the captain. The cameraman is showing only Dhoni’s face.”
In this opening encounter, CSK secured a stunning six-wicket victory over RCB. Mustafizur Rahman’s four-wicket haul played a crucial role in their triumph. RCB posted 173/6 after 20 overs, thanks to late contributions from Anuj Rawat (48) and Dinesh Karthik (38*). CSK chased down the target in just 18.4 overs, with Rachin Ravindra (37) and Shivam Dube (34*) shining with the bat.
Additionally, there’s speculation about whether MS Dhoni will play all games in IPL 2024. Former West Indies skipper Chris Gayle believes Dhoni might take breaks during the season but remains optimistic about his performance12.
