And ahead of the match, the former India captain was felicitated at the MA Chidambaram stadium in front of the buoyant CSK crowd. Former BCCI president N Srinivasan felicitated Dhoni with a special laminated poster that had ‘Thala 200’ written over it.
Dhoni becomes the first player to captain 200 games in IPL for a single franchise, as the veteran has captained Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiants during his IPL career. He started his career in 2008 with CSK and after 16 years of the tournament, he still remains the numero uno of the Chennai-based franchise.
And as the stalwart has presented with the accolade, Twitter and social media platforms erupted with joy, lauding the CSK captain for this amazing achievement. Here are the best of Twitter reactions-
Former CSK player and Dhoni’s teammate Suresh Raina took to Twitter and congratulated Dhoni for his achievement.
