With both sides hungry for a win following recent losses, the atmosphere was charged with excitement. However, a heartwarming moment unfolded as the crowd displayed more enthusiasm in cheering for the visiting captain Gaikwad during the toss than for their own skipper, Pat Cummins, showcasing the true spirit of cricket.
Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl first. As the 30-year-old prepared to chat with presenter Pommie Mbangwa, the crowd erupted in cheers, showing their unwavering support for the visiting team.
When CSK captain Gaikwad stepped forward for his conversation with Mbangwa, the noise level in the stadium rose to a crescendo, making it difficult to hear over the din. The uproar was so intense that the presenter briefly paused, struggling to make out Gaikwad’s words amidst the commotion.
