MS Dhoni's Playful Antics with Deepak Chahar Go Viral Ahead of CSK vs MI Clash

Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians are the most successful teams in IPL history, having won the IPL trophy 5-5 times. However, this season both teams are looking in great form. Last season, both teams failed to qualify for the playoffs and are now sitting in the bottom half of the points table. Mumbai is in seventh place with six points, while Chennai is at the bottom with 2 points. At the beginning of this season, when the two teams came face-to-face, CSK defeated Mumbai.

With Gaikwad ruled out for the rest of the season, Chennai Super Kings' most prominent player MS Dhoni is now leading CSK. Out of two matches, they have won one. MI and CSK will face each other once again on Sunday. Prior to this match, Dhoni was seen having fun with former CSK bowler Deepak Chahar, who is now a part of MI.

A video of both of them is going viral on social media, in which Dhoni is seen chasing Chahar with a bat in his hand. Looking at the video, it seems that Chahar must have said something funny to Dhoni.

Ahead of the match, Mumbai spinner Mitchell Santner said that a good wicket can be expected for Sunday's match, as he played on a slow turn against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Thursday. "I haven't really seen the pitch, but we know how good Hyderabad are on flat wickets. I think there was an option to slow it down a bit and I think our bowlers did a fantastic job. As you said, reducing the pace on the wicket, using a little bit of the dimensions. "

"I don't know how the match against Chennai is going to be but we are playing as a unit and adapting as quickly as possible. Traditionally, it's a very good wicket, so if that's the case, it's about getting in and out of the overs. If that's the way it is, then we know how to bowl and then if it's flat, like a Bangalore  match, then we also know – try to get in and out of the overs. The only way to slow down teams is wickets, as we have seen in this IPL. "
