Netizens called it time travel and said that it was Dhoni from 2040 coming back in time to watch the game.

Meanwhile, there have been many speculations around Dhoni’s retirement from IPL and the wicketkeeper-batter has used the term farewell quite a few times in the post-match presentations. On the other hand, talking on Jio Cinema, Dhoni’s close friend and former CSK teammate Suresh Raina said that Dhoni told him that he will play for another year after winning the trophy.

In the aforementioned match, PBKS chased 201 on the last ball after Sikander Raza and Shahrukh Khan were able to run for three against Matheesha Pathirara’s delivery. Devon Conway scored 92* off 52 while Dhoni ended CSK’s inning with two cracking sixes to post 200 on the board. However, 42 off 24 by Prabhsimran Singh and 28(15) by Shikhar Dhawan laid the stage while Liam Livingstone’s quick fifty and 21 off 10 by Jitesh Sharma gave the boost to chase the total.
