The Indian Premier League (IPL) has ended with MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lifting the coveted trophy for the record-equaling fifth time by beating Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans (GT) by five wickets. The hero of the match was Ravindra Jadeja whose six and four off the last two balls of the innings secured the victory for the Yellow Jersey. That match was also six-time IPL champion Ambati Rayudu’s last one as he announced his decision to retire from all forms of cricket two hours before the originally scheduled IPL final on May 28th.

During the post-match trophy presentation ceremony, Dhoni called Rayudu and Jadeja to join him in receiving the trophy. Rayudu later disclosed that Dhoni had asked both him and Jadeja to join him for the special occasion, and for this heartwarming gesture, Rayudu heaped massive praise on the former Indian captain.

Before the ceremony, he called me and Jaddu, saying he wants us to join him in lifting the trophy. He thinks it was the right moment to do it with both of us. It was really special on his part, I don’t think that has ever happened. That’s the person he is, and the person the world knows. Overall, it is his gesture,” Rayudu told NDTV.

Also during the post-match presentation, the CSK skipper praised Rayudu for giving his 100% when he is on the field. Dhoni has been playing with Rayudu since the India A tours and revealed that both are very similar to each other.

After CSK’s victory, renowned chef Suresh Pillai took to Instagram to post a lengthy never-heard story about MS Dhoni from the time when he was still a member of the Men in Blue. Though Dhoni has maintained his fitness, he is known to be a huge foodie.

When India traveled to Kerala for their match against West Indies in 2018, chef Pillai recalled that most of the players had ordered seafood for dinner except Dhoni who was allergic to seafood. And that is why he requested the chef to give him chicken curry, rice, and rasam.

I can’t have seafood, Chef. I am allergic. “Can I get some Chicken curry and rice? I would also like some spicy rasam since I have a sore throat”. The chef added that Dhoni praised his culinary skills saying he liked the food the next day.
