TATA IPL 2023: Sunil Gavaskar opens up on prompt decision to take MS Dhoni's autograph on shirt

Sunil Gavaskar opened up about his prompt decision to run up to MS Dhoni and get his autograph on his shirt.

During a chat with Star Sports, the former India captain revealed that when he got to know about Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni were going to take a lap of honour at Chepauk, he 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,' Gavaskar added.

However, he clarified that Dhoni will get a chance to play in Chennai if CSK qualify for the playoffs. 'But I decided to make that moment special,' he revealed.

Gavaskar appreciated Dhoni for acknowledging his request. 'It was a very emotional moment for me. Kapil Dev lifting the 1983 WC Trophy and MS Dhoni hitting that winning six in the 2011 WC final are the two cricketing moments I would love to see before I die,' an emotional Gavaskar further added.
