Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday led the Chennai Super Kings to yet another IPL title as his wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva were in the stands to cheer for him and extend support.
Chennai Super Kings beat Kolkata Knight Riders at the Dubai International Stadium by 27 runs to win their fourth IPL title.
Having lost the toss, CSK were asked to bat first and they posted a formidable 192, thanks to Faf du Plessis’ magnificent 86 off 59 balls and handy innings by Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, and later Robin Uthappa.
KKR began on a high note with openers Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill stitching a 91-run stand together as 193 seemed like an easy ask at one stage. However, tight overs from Dwayne Bravo and twin strikes from Shardul Thakur in an over changed the course of the match and KKR fell short by 27 runs.
With emotions running high, it was time for Dhoni to breathe a sigh of relief after a lean last season and embrace his family.
The family posing for the cameras and hugging each other was a wholesome sight for everyone and the photo soon went viral on Twitter.
