Watch! MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir share a warm hug after CSK vs KKR match in IPL 2024

The Chennai Super Kings vs the Kolkata Knight Riders game on Monday may not have been a thrilling contest but fans witnessed a heartwarming moment after the match.

MS Dhoni, who came out to play just 3 balls, was leaving the ground after CSK beat KKR by 7 wickets. That's when Gautam Gambhir came up to him and the two former India captains shared a warm hug and exchanged a few words with bright smiles on their faces.

The video quickly went viral on social media as it featured two of India's 2011 World Cup-winning heroes. While Gambhir scored a match-winning 97, MSD smashed an unbeaten 91 to take India to victory.

A couple of years back, it seemed that there was some tension between the two but Gambhir spoke highly of Dhoni on a few occasions and put all those speculations to rest.

This is not the first time in this IPL that Gambhir had such a moment. He also had a similar hug with Virat Kohli when KKR took on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru a few days back.

In the match, CSK beat KKR by 7 wickets to return to winning ways after losing 2 in a row. KKR on the other hand were handed their first defeat of the season. They were on a 3-match winning streak before this game.
