Dhoni-Chahar banter
Despite intense rivalry on the field, moments like these highlight the camaraderie that transcends team colors. In a video from a recent net session, Deepak Chahar, now part of Mumbai Indians, after his stint with CSK, approached his former captain MS Dhoni for a chat.However, Dhoni jokingly pointed out the presence of the camera and said:“Tum aya, sath main camera leke aya… Bhagao sku” (You came with a camera… get it out of here.)Chahar then angrily asked the cameraman to leave, saying: “Hey yaar bhaiya, jao aap” (Come on brother, please go).Dhoni added with a smile: “Han, Warna won’t talk.” (Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to talk.)The duo is known for their “big brother younger brother” bond. During the 2025 MI vs CSK match, Chahar comically tried to sledge Dhoni by hinting that he would field at short sally point when Dhoni walked out to bat. After CSK’s win, Dhoni was seen jokingly “hitting” Chahar with his bat during the post-match handshake, a moment that went viral as a symbol of their enduring friendship.
