Chennai (Tamil Nadu): Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni made an animated gesture when a cameraman panned the camera towards the right-handed batter standing in the dugout to show him on the TV screens as the fans were waiting for the former to come on the crease and give them a treat by playing some shots with the bat.
The cameraman was capturing MS Dhoni, one of the most loved cricketers across the globe, during the match, who was watching the action from the dressing room. Dhoni then saw the camera panning on him, he gestured as if he was throwing a water bottle at the cameraman.
The incident occurred during match number 39th between Lucknow Super Giants and CSK of the ongoing 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old's stay on the crease with the bat was limited as he got to play only one ball in the entire CSK innings, albeit he didn't disappoint his fans. He smashed a boundary on the final ball of the last over of Chennai's innings, the only delivery he faced.
As the video went viral on social media platforms, it captured the attention of the social media users in no time. Many users reacted to his funny side through comments and posts on the internet.
