As the legendary cricketer MS Dhoni decided to take the lap of honor after the IPL match with KKR on Sunday, the heart of every cricket fan sank as they knew they might be witnessing the legend for the last time on the grounds of cricket. The emotional intensity of the moment was highlighted by the fact that another legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar decided to run to MS Dhoni and take one autograph on his shirt.
Sunil Gavaskar talked about what was going in his mind during that moment and how emotional he was considering the contributions of MS Dhoni for the Indian cricket. He even added that during the last moments of his life he want to relive two moments- when Kapil Dev lifted the world cup in 1983 and when MS Dhoni smashed that winning six during the finals of World Cup 2011.
“I decided to create a special memory When I got to know about MS Dhoni’s lap of honour. That’s why I ran towards MSD to take his autograph. It was his last home game at Chepauk. Of course, he will get a chance to play here if CSK qualifies for the playoffs. But I decided to make that moment special. I was fortunate enough that someone in the camera unit had a marker pen. So, I am thankful to that person as well,” Gavaskar said in the video.
“So, I went to Mahi and requested him to sign an autograph on the shirt that I was wearing. It was so nice of him to acknowledge it. It was a very emotional moment for me because this fellow has made immense contributions to Indian Cricket,” Gavaskar said.
“Kapil Dev lifting the 1983 WC Trophy and MS Dhoni hitting that winning six in the 2011 WC final are the two cricketing moments I would love to see before I die,” Sunil Gavaskar said in a trembling, emotional voice.
