MS Dhoni engaged in a fun interaction with the West Indies duo of Keiron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo ahead of CSK's match against MI at the Wankhede Stadium on April 14, Sunday. A new chapter is set to unfold in the age-old rivalry of Mumbai and Chennai as two new captains arrive at the toss. For the first time, Dhoni didn't arrive at the toss for CSK at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, but that didn't deter the fans from cheering for the men in yellow. CSK's captain Gaikwad received a rousing cheer from the crowd as he walked out to talk to Ravi Shastri during the toss. While Gaikwad was busy with the toss duties, Dhoni was present with the players in the ground. What caught everyone's attention was Dhoni engaging in a fun chat with Pollard and Bravo. The West Indies duo reunited as Pollard has been MI's batting coach and Bravo has been CSK's bowling coach. Dhoni looked calm and cool as always as he was all smiles ahead of the game. Dhoni amped up his style game as he donned a yellow band to keep his vintage long-haired look in check. He also played volleyball with the CSK players to warm up for the high-octane encounter. WANKHEDE REVERBRATES WITH CSK CHANTS It was not just a sea of blue, which has been a usual sight at the Wankhede Stadium, as there was a mix of yellow in the stands as well. However, it was no surprise as wherever Dhoni has gone, he has managed to make every ground CSK's home ground. This was evident as the stands were filled even before the match began, and the crowd was upbeat with the posters and placards of Dhoni in their hands. The iconic stadium reverberated with the chants of CSK as the yellow colour dominated in the stands.
