The two legends sat side by side in the broadcaster’s studio, catching every moment of the thrilling contest between the arch-rivals.
A viral video showed Dhoni, dressed in his signature Chennai Super Kings (CSK) yellow, deeply engaged in the match while Sunny Deol joined him for an epic watch party.
Indian cricket fans were in for a surprise when broadcasters showed MS Dhoni watching the match intensely, with Bollywood legend Sunny Deol by his side. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans celebrating this unique crossover between cricket and cinema.
What Made This Moment Special?
MS Dhoni, India’s most successful captain, is still loved by millions despite retiring from international cricket.
Sunny Deol, known for his powerful on-screen presence, added a Bollywood touch to the cricketing drama.
Fans couldn’t stop talking about the two icons watching India dominate Pakistan in real-time.
A day before the match, Sunny Deol posted a teaser video, saying he would be watching the game with a “special celebrity.” He hinted at the number “seven”, making many fans guess that it could be MS Dhoni (who wore the iconic No. 7 jersey for India).
And they were right! The duo was seen together at the broadcaster’s studio, enjoying every moment of India’s fiery bowling performance.
While Dhoni and Deol were enjoying the match, India’s bowlers put up a stellar show on the field:
