When it comes to cricketing legend MS Dhoni, the cameras always seem to find him, whether he’s on the field or in the dressing room. Typically, Dhoni shrugs off the attention, occasionally acknowledging it with a wave. However, during the recent match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Dhoni had a comical response when the camera focused on him.
In the 17th over, as MS Dhoni awaited his turn to bat, the camera panned to him in the dressing room, projecting his image on the giant screen. Fans erupted into cheers upon seeing Dhoni, prompting his playful reaction. Seizing a water bottle, Dhoni pretended to hurl it towards the camera, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
