MS Dhoni recently went down memory lane and fondly recalled giving an autograph to the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. The memorable moment took place during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were playing their last game of the season at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium.
As CSK was taking a lap of honour, Gavaskar briefly interrupted Dhoni to request an autograph. Dhoni obliged, signing Gavaskar’s shirt — a moment that quickly became iconic. Later, Gavaskar revealed that the shirt was safely preserved at his home.
“He’s very happy with what I’ve been doing on and off the field. I’ve made mistakes too, but more often than not, I’ve tried to do the right things. So, his appreciation feels like a stamp of approval—something very close to my heart.
