Dhoni will then lead his troops in a lap of honour, hit a tennis ball with a racket into the crowd and thank the policemen present. In an emotional scene at Chepauk, Dhoni appeared to thank the crowd and they did, even as he walked the lap of the stadium with the rest of his team.
Even Sunil Gavaskar could not curb that urge. Chennai Super Kings appeared in their last league match against Kolkata Knight Riders at home at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. Despite losing six wickets, the mood around Chepauk was as celebratory as ever as the CSK players thanked their fans with a final lap of respect.
Sunil Gavaskar got MS Dhoni's autograph on his shirt. 🤩#CSKvsKKR

Tennis rackets were also scattered around, and soon Dhoni was lobbing tennis balls into the stands, playing with one knee heavily bandaged. Man of the Match will also seek Rinku Singh’s signature and receive an autographed jersey.

CSK skipper also praised the efforts of Shivam Dube, who was the leading scorer for the men in yellow on the night. “Shivam is very happy with what he has done, but it is important to think that he is not satisfied and that he is improving.”
