Watch: Dhoni's Heartfelt Gesture For Raina During Lap Of Honour At Chepauk
Chennai Super Kings wrapped up the last league match of their IPL 2024 campaign on home turf at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium with a lap of honour on Sunday. The defending champions registered an emphatic victory over the Rajasthan Royals, ending their home matches on a winning note. CSK now have only one league match left which will be played away from home against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

This was potentially the last match for CSK's spiritual leader and legendary former captain MS Dhoni at his beloved Chepauk Stadium unless the team reaches the final, which is scheduled to be played at the venue. Dhoni and the rest of the team did a lap of honour around the stadium and as it concluded, the players signed tennis balls and hit them into the yellow army crowd in the stands with racquets. The fans had turned up in huge numbers for the heartwarming gesture by CSK as they also recorded the moment on their phones.
During the lap, MS Dhoni was joined by CSK great Suresh Raina and the Indian legend did something that was nothing short of emotional. Dhoni called Raina upfront as he handed him the tennis racquet to distribute the signed balls in the crowd.
