MS Dhoni Reminisces Iconic Autograph Moment with Sunil Gavaskar at IPL 2023

IPL 2025 Update — Legendary cricketer MS Dhoni took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he recalled a special moment with Sunil Gavaskar during the 2023 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The heartwarming incident unfolded at Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) last home game of that season, hosted at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk.

During the emotional lap of honour by CSK players, the ever-charismatic Gavaskar approached Dhoni with a unique request — an autograph. Without hesitation, Dhoni signed Gavaskar’s shirt, creating a timeless memory for cricket fans worldwide. Gavaskar later shared that he has kept the autographed shirt safely at home, treasuring it as a memento from one of India's greatest captains.

Reflecting on the event, Dhoni said in an exclusive interview with Star Sports:

| "He’s been happy with what I’ve tried to do both on and off the field. I’ve made mistakes too, but mostly, I’ve done what I believed was right. His appreciation feels like a personal stamp of approval — something incredibly close to my heart." |

| "When Sunny bhai asked for an autograph, my first instinct was simple — 'Of course, I’ll sign.' It was truly a special moment," Dhoni added. |

In his heartfelt tribute, Dhoni praised Sunil Gavaskar’s legendary resilience against the brutal pace attacks of the West Indies during the golden era of Test cricket — an attack featuring legends like Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, and Andy Roberts. Gavaskar famously became the first batter to cross the 10,000-run mark in Test cricket, setting new standards for generations to follow.

| "He's an all-time great. From the time I picked up a bat, Sunny bhai was already a giant figure in cricketing history, particularly for the way he faced the fearsome West Indian quicks. It wasn’t just one or two bowlers; it was an entire army of fast bowling, and his performances against them were simply remarkable," Dhoni said. "|

MS Dhoni: A Legacy of Triumph

MS Dhoni himself has carved an indelible legacy in the history of Indian sport games. Under his leadership:

• India clinched the inaugural Men’s T20 World Cup in 2007.

• India lifted the coveted Men’s ODI World Cup in 2011 after a 28-year wait.

• India dominated the global stage by winning the Champions Trophy in 2013.

Since retiring from international cricket in August 2020, Dhoni has continued to inspire fans worldwide, leading CSK with his trademark calmness and sharp cricketing mind.
