In the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, a viral video suggested Matheesha Pathirana touched MS Dhoni’s feet before bowling.
Fans appreciated the clip, but in reality, Pathirana didn’t actually touch the CSK captain’s feet; the angle of the video made it seem so.
During the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, a viral video implied that Matheesha Pathirana touched MS Dhoni’s feet before bowling.
