MS Dhoni playfully calls Suresh Raina ‘Harami Launda’ during Kedar Jadhav’s birthday celebration

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have yet again made a stupendous start to a season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After beating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Chepauk, MS Dhoni and Co brushed aside Delhi Capitals (DC) by six wickets at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Though CSK won with two balls to spare, the match was far more one-sided than what the scoreline would show.

Most importantly, the Yellow Army moved to the top of the points, albeit they were toppled by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) the very next day at the Eden Gardens. CSK are the defending champions and a lot would be expected of the three-time IPL champions. And they haven’t disappointed once again with a couple of resounding shows against two of the strongest teams at least on paper.

Dhoni celebrates Jadhav’s birthday in style

The day when the Super Kings emerged victorious against Shreyas Iyer’s men, was also Kedar Jadhav’s 34th birthday. The Maharashtra-cricketer played a couple of short, yet useful knocks lower down the order, showing the strength in the CSK’s batting lineup. He had every reason to cheer about and it was the case for CSK also as the franchise got two reasons to celebrate on Tuesday, March 26.

After the victory, the Super Kings celebrated their victory and Jadhav’s birthday in style. A cake cutting ceremony was arranged for the middle-order batsman. Jadhav was bare-chested and his teammates smeared cake on his face. They also didn’t miss out on the chance of smearing cake on Jadhav’s face and also clicked a few adorable pictures with the middle order batsman.

In the meantime, Dhoni, the enigmatic CSK captain, enjoyed the auspicious occasion to the fullest. During this while, he also addressed Suresh Raina, one of the oldest CSK players along with MSD, as a ‘Harami Launda’ and it displays the camaraderie between two of the most experienced players in the CSK lineup. All the players seemed to have enjoyed a lot.
