Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is one of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The legacy and environment they have in their stadium are examples for other teams to replicate. One of the major reasons behind this is 'Captain Cool' MS Dhoni who is holding the baton since 2008 and leading his team to glory. Recently in an event fans were mesmerized by Dhoni's funny side as Captain Cool trolled Youngster Rajvardhan Hangargekar.
Ahead of their home game against Rajasthan Royals, CSK organized an event that was attended by Hangargekar, Dhoni, and DJ Bravo. Notably, it was the first event of the 20-year-old pace allrounder. Coming on the stage Anchor welcomed Raj with a big round of applause and asked him to start the conversation.
Raj said, "Good evening everyone. Very happy to be here. As Mahi Bhaiya said, Ki jitna jyada hum iss event ko fun kar sakte hai, acha hasi mazak mein rakh sakte hai, utna try karenge, aur let's see," (Good evening, everyone. As Dhoni said, we can have fun and some laughter in this event, we will try to do that)."
Meanwhile, Dhoni interrupted in between and trolled Raj for his no-balls. "Basically ye bol raha hai koi iske no-ball ke bare mein baat nahi karega (Basically he is saying, no one will talk about his no balls)," Dhoni interrupted, leaving the audience in splits.

"They will have to play under a new captain", warned Dhoni
It's not the first time that MS Dhoni has talked about the no balls. In their first home game against Lucknow Super Giants Dhoni was seen frustrated due to extra runs. Speaking about it in the post-match presentation ceremony Dhoni had said, "They'll have to bowl no no-balls or extra wides. Or they'll have to play under a new captain. It will be my second warning, and then I'll be off."
Meanwhile, CSK is set to face Rajasthan Royals in the 17th game of the Indian Premier League 2023. CSK will return to the home ground after thrashing Mumbai Indians in the last game at the Wankhede Stadium and will look to continue their winning run.
