brings immense joy to his fans, sparking waves of excitement and cheers.
During Chennai Super Kings matches, the camera diligently captures every corner of the ground, ensuring not to miss a single moment featuring MS Dhoni.
That's exactly what happened during CSK's match against Lucknow Super Giants at Chepauk when the camera spotted Dhoni in the dressing room in the 17th over of the innings.
The former CSK skipper couldn't help but notice his extended appearance on the big screen at the ground, prompting the crowd to erupt into prolonged cheers.
However, Dhoni humorously expressed his frustration at the extended screen time by pretending to throw a water bottle at the camera.
The incident quickly caught the attention of social media users, leading to the viral spread of the video clip across various platforms.
