Chennai Super Kings took a lap of honour at MA Chidambaram Stadium after the conclusion of their IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. It was emotional moment for the fans as CSK played their last league match of the season at the venue. The side has one more game remaining in the league stage but it will be an away match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. On Sunday, the fans turned up in huge number as MS Dhoni and his teammates were distributing signed balls to the crowd with the help of tennis racquets.

During the hearwarming moment, Suresh Raina, a former CSK player and good friend of Dhoni, joined the team during the lap of honour. And what Dhoni did was simply a sweet and kind gesture.

Dhoni handed the tennis racquet to Raina and asked him to do the service of sending the signed balls into the crowd. Notably, Raina is one of the commentators during IPL 2024 and was present at the venue for the same task.
