'Buzurg Dhoni' - Virender Sehwag Makes Controversial Remarks On Former CSK Captain

The cricketing world was impressed by Dhoni's quick reflexes when he caught Vijay Shankar, and Sehwag playfully referred to him as 'buzurg'. Veteran Indian opener Virender Sehwag praised Chennai Super Kings for their excellent fielding, especially their catching, in match 7 of the Indian Premier League 2024 season against Gujarat Titans at the Chepauk Stadium. Senior player Ajinkya Rahane took a sensational diving catch to dismiss David Miller, while Rachin Ravindra, who joined CSK this season, grabbed a couple. Meanwhile, the catch that grabbed the most eyeballs was Vijay Shankar's catch, which was taken by legendary MS Dhoni. The 42-year-old wicketkeeper made a fully stretched dive 2.7 meters to his right to grab a one-handed stunner to treat the Chennai people at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium.

'Buzurg Dhoni' - Virender Sehwag makes controversial remarks on former CSK captain

The cricketing world was amazed by MS Dhoni's quick reflexes despite his age. Former India teammate Virender Sehwag cheekily referred to him as 'buzurg'. Chennai Super Kings won their second straight match as they thrashed GT by 63 runs to maintain their winning streak and increase their lead at the top of the points table with an outstanding NRR.

"Catches win matches. Ajinkya Rahane picked a good catch, and so did Rachin Ravindra. Buzurg (old) MS Dhoni also picked one," Sehwag said.

Rohan Gavaskar, who was also part of the discussion, instantly replied, "You didn't refer to Rahane as buzurg." Sehwag backed his claim and said there is a big age difference between Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni.

Now Ajinkya Rahane takes a splendid running catch! 🔥

There's no escape for the ball with @ChennaiIPL's current fielding display 😎

"Their age is not the same, there is a difference, and Rahane is also fitter than MS Dhoni. There is a big difference between a 35-year-old and a 41-year-old. MS is getting old now there is no doubt about it," Sehwag added.

Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is leading CSK for the first time this season, was also highly impressed with his side's fielding. Ruturaj Gaikwad's team covered all its bases, and it was evident as Rachin Ravindra prepared a platform with a 20-ball 46-run innings, allowing Shivam Dube to unlock his beast mode with a 23-ball 51 as Chennai posted a massive 206 for 6.
