Did Virat Kohli Enter CSK Dressing Room Looking for MS Dhoni After Alleged Post-match Handshake Snub?

There has been quite a furore on social media over MS Dhoni allegedly skipping the customary post-match handshake between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru stars post their IPL 2024 match on Saturday.

CSK needed to either beat RCB or loss by less than 18 runs to sneak into the IPL 2024 playoffs.

Set 219 to win, CSK came close to knocking out their opponents but Yash Dayal held his nerves to keep them to 191/7, sealing a 27-run win for RCB and a spot in the playoffs as well.

After a clip of Dhoni snubbing the customary ritual after waiting for a few moments for RCB stars to finish their victory celebrations went viral, another clip is now been widely circulated on social media.

The clip shows Kohli entering the dressing room at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium with claims that the former RCB captain went searching for Dhoni to meet him before he left the venue. It’s not clear from the short clip whether Kohli intended to seek out Dhoni or if he managed to meet him.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan had criticised RCB stars for not cutting short their celebrations to meet Dhoni who may or may not have played the final competitive match of his glittering career on Saturday.

Speculations are rife over the playing future of Dhoni who had stepped down from the CSK captaincy a day before IPL 2024 got underway giving credence to rumours that this is indeed the last season as a player.

However, as per several media reports, Dhoni hasn’t discussed his future with the CSK management yet but is expected to reveal it in the coming months.

Dhoni will reportedly fly to London to get his leg treated which bothered him during the entirety of the season and thus limiting his movement. The wicketkeeper-batter had played last IPL too with an injury for which he underwent a surgery.
