The 61st match of the Indian Premier League (IPA) 2023 was played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This was CSK's last league match at home in IPL 2023. In which KKR won by six wickets. After this match, all the CSK players including Dhoni went around the field and thanked the fans. During this, former Team India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, who was included in the commentary panel, came running towards Dhoni like a child and took an autograph from Dhoni on his shirt. Its video also went quite viral. Sunil Gavaskar has now told why he took Dhoni's autograph and the reason behind it is not a simple reason.
Gavaskar told why he is such a big fan of Dhoni. CSK won the IPL 2023 title under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. After CSK won the title, many people believed that Dhoni would say goodbye to professional cricket. Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020 itself. However, after the final match, Dhoni had made it clear that he would like to play one more season for his fans and is ready to lead CSK in IPL 2024 also.

Gavaskar said on Star Sports, 'I have been a fan of MS Dhoni ever since I saw him playing for the first time and what does a fan want? The fan wants to meet his hero, talk to him, try to get his autograph and take a photo with him. I think the entire Chennai Super Kings team was touring the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, because after that they had to go somewhere else to play the playoff matches. So I thought this was a great opportunity to get Dhoni's autograph, I admire him a lot, I admire his cricket, his attitude, his behaviour. It is the responsibility of a role model to conduct himself in such a way that he becomes a good role model and he is a very good role model. Because of these specialties of his, I went to him and took his autograph. I am happy that he agreed to give the autograph and even today his autographed shirt is kept with pride in my house.
