WATCH: Fans go crazy as Sunil Gavaskar takes autograph from MS Dhoni
Dhoni is one of the finest captains Indian cricket has ever produced
Former Indian Test cricketer Sunil Gavaskar rushed to Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) captain MS Dhoni to take his autograph after they were beaten by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 61st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season 16.
Dhoni and his men were taking a lap of honour for their fans in Chennai as the last group stage game of the IPL 16 was played there on May 14. Dhoni might retire from cricket after this year's IPL, hence he took a round of the ground to thank his fans for their support.
Meanwhile, Gavaskar, who was doing the post-match show with fellow commentator Kevin Pietersen and presenter Neroli Meadows, rushed to Dhoni to take his autograph.
"Who wouldn't want his autograph?" said Gavaskar. "I mean what he has done for Indian cricket over the years is amazing. For me, it is important that what a role model he has been. A lot of youngsters look up to him and it's fantastic to watch," the legendary cricketer added.
Fans were too happy to see two legends giving respect to each other.
