'I think no one knows about this' - Former Indian cricketer shares emotional story about MS Dhoni when CSK returned in 2018 after 2 years

One of the most well-liked and successful teams in Indian Premier League history is Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The team has a significant fan base all over the world, and MS Dhoni, a former renowned Indian captain, has an unbreakable bond with CSK. Dhoni also referred to as "Captain Cool," has led CSK since the league's inaugural season.

Meanwhile, a video of former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who was a member of CSK, is getting viral on social media in which he discusses how Dhoni became emotional in front of his teammates, revealing how significant the franchise is to Dhoni. Harbhajan claimed in the video that CSK returned to the IPL 2018 after a two-year absence, and as a result, Dhoni was unable to control his tears when the squad took the pitch for the first time after the suspension.

“There is a story that I want to share. Back in 2018, when CSK made a comeback to this league after a two-year ban there was a team dinner. We must have heard the saying that ‘Men don’t cry’, but MS Dhoni cried on that night. He became emotional. I think no one knows about this,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

People gave our team the tag of buddhe: Imran Tahir

The richest cricket league in the world is still dominated by CSK, who have qualified for the playoffs and will meet the reigning champion Gujarat Titans (GT) in the first qualifier on May 23. Imran Tahir, a member of the CSK team, provided additional insight into the emotional incident.

“Even I was there. It was a very emotional moment for him (MS Dhoni). Looking at him like that, I came to know how close this team is to his heart. He considers the team as his family. It was very emotional for all of us.

“We came back after two years and won the trophy when people gave our team the tag of buddhe (old men). Even though I was in the squad that season, but we won the title. I am very proud of that victory.”
