Sunil Gavaskar's Emotional Moment: Obtaining MS Dhoni's Autograph at Chepauk Farewell Game

Sunil Gavaskar leaves a lasting impression on MS Dhoni's final home game at Chepauk as he obtains the CSK captain's autograph on his shirt. Gavaskar, one of the greatest cricketers, describes the emotional significance of the moment and expresses his deep respect for Dhoni's contributions to Indian cricket.

"When I got to know about Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni are going to take a lap of honour at Chepauk, I decided to create a special memory. 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's impulsive action of approaching Dhoni for an autograph resonated with cricket fans worldwide. It showcased the mutual respect and admiration between two cricketing legends.

"Kapil Dev lifting the 1983 WC Trophy & MS Dhoni hitting that winning six in the 2011 WC final are the two cricketing moments I would love to see before I die."
