With a 12-run win over Lucknow, the Chennai skipper soon became the talk of the town. Following the game against Lucknow, Dhoni once again managed to steal the limelight with a kind gesture.
After the match, the World Cup-winning captain was seen sharing a light-hearted moment with Lucknow all-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham’s daughter. The toddler can be seen getting a high-five from Dhoni. Chennai Super Kings shared a couple of photos in which Gowtham and his family members could be seen in the frame with Dhoni.
