14-Year-Old Vaibhav Suryavanshi Touches MS Dhoni's Feet After RR vs CSK Clash, Video Goes Viral
The Arun Jaitley Stadium witnessed a truly historic clash on Tuesday night in the IPL 2025 fixture between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). On one end stood 43-year-old MS Dhoni, a living legend and the oldest player in IPL history. On the other, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the tournament's youngest-ever debutant, announced his arrival on the big stage with a fearless and match-winning knock. Suryavanshi's innings of 57 off 33 balls, laced with four boundaries and four sixes, not only powered RR to a dominant six-wicket win but also etched his name into the IPL folklore as a future star to watch. #CSKvRR | @ChennaiIPL | @rajasthanroyals — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) May 20, 2025 RR were chasing 188 after their bowlers, particularly Akash Madhwal and Yudhvir Singh Charak, picked up three wickets each to restrict CSK to 187/8. In response, Suryavanshi displayed maturity beyond his years, taking on elite bowlers with poise and confidence. Partnering with skipper Sanju Samson, the teenager helped RR reach 56/1 at the end of the powerplay. His lofted sixes off Ravindra Jadeja and powerful backfoot shots against Noor Ahmad left even the commentators awestruck. The highlight came when he reached his maiden IPL fifty with a towering six off Noor — a shot that echoed his fearless intent and clean ball-striking. The Moment That Melted Millions: Suryavanshi Touches Dhoni's Feet But even after his impressive knock, it wasn't Suryavanshi's runs that became the biggest headline — it was his gesture of respect after the match that went viral. As the teams lined up for post-match handshakes, Suryavanshi bent down and touched MS Dhoni's feet, combining tradition with admiration in a moment that captured the emotional heartbeat of Indian cricket. Dhoni, ever modest, responded with a humble smile and a pat — a generational transfer of grace and greatness. This act resonated deeply with fans across the country. On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the video of the moment quickly racked up millions of views, trending under tags like #Dhoni, #VaibhavSuryavanshi, and #IPL2025. Beyond the Boundary: A Small-Town Boy's Dream Born in Samastipur, Bihar, just a few hours from Dhoni's hometown of Ranchi, Suryavanshi has always idolized the former India captain. For young talents from smaller towns, MS Dhoni isn't just a cricketer — he's an embodiment of hope, proof that dreams do come true with discipline and belief. Suryavanshi's rise mirrors that of Yashasvi Jaiswal, another prodigy who once expressed his admiration for Dhoni in a similar way. In many Indian households, such gestures are more than tradition — they're tributes rooted in reverence and gratitude. CSK's Slide Continues: IPL 2025 Playoff Hopes Dashed With this loss, Chennai Super Kings are now staring at a disappointing finish to their campaign. Unless they produce a miraculous win over table-toppers Gujarat Titans in their final match, CSK are set to finish at the bottom of the points table — a rare occurrence for a franchise synonymous with consistency. Veterans like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja had moments of brilliance, but CSK's lack of momentum in both innings was evident. Dhoni's personal form and influence remain evergreen, but even he couldn't lift CSK past RR's youthful exuberance.

Dewald Brevis Unbelievable Catch Goes Viral During CSK vs PBKS In IPL 2025
In a season filled with disappointments for the Chennai Super Kings, one moment of sheer brilliance stood tall — Dewald Brevis' gravity-defying catch at the boundary line against Punjab Kings. With CSK's playoff hopes hanging by a thread, Brevis pulled off a sensational effort in the deep that not only stunned fans in the stadium but also set social media ablaze. It was the 18th over of a tense chase at the MA Chidambaram Stadium when PBKS batter Shashank Singh launched a Ravindra Jadeja delivery toward deep mid-wicket. What followed was pure athletic theatre. Brevis, patrolling the boundary, timed his leap perfectly to intercept the ball mid-air. Realizing he was heading over the ropes, the 22-year-old cleverly tossed the ball in the air, stepped outside the line, jumped again to flick it back in, and finally dived forward to complete the catch inside the field. Fans erupted. Commentators ran out of adjectives. Social media users hailed it as 'one of the greatest boundary-line catches in IPL history.' Updates #TATAIPL | #CSKvPBKS | @ChennaiIPL — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) April 30, 2025 CSK's Fragile Dreams Shattered Despite Curran's Blitz While Brevis gave CSK a moment to remember, it couldn't mask the heartbreak that followed. CSK, batting first, posted a competitive 190 thanks to a scintillating knock from Sam Curran (88 off 47 balls). Walking in at a shaky 48/3, Curran counter-attacked with class, hammering nine boundaries and four sixes. He stitched a crucial 78-run stand with Brevis (32), stabilizing the innings and giving CSK hope. Curran's onslaught in the death overs included a 26-run carnage against young Suryansh Shedge, which seemed to swing momentum in CSK's favor. However, a late implosion triggered by Yuzvendra Chahal turned the game on its head. Chahal's Hat-Trick Turns the Tide With CSK poised for a 200-plus total, Chahal's 19th over became the stuff of nightmares for the home side. The leg-spinner, who had gone wicketless in his first spell, struck gold in the death. After dismissing MS Dhoni, he ran through CSK's lower order in a stunning four-ball burst. Hooda, Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad fell in quick succession — the latter two registering ducks — as CSK collapsed from 185/4 to 190 all out. Chahal's 4/32, including his second IPL hat-trick, was a masterclass in death-over bowling and a pivotal match-turning moment. Iyer, Prabhsimran Seal CSK's Fate In reply, PBKS chased down the target with two balls to spare, finishing on 194/6. Skipper Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings with a composed 72 off 41 balls, while Prabhsimran Singh chipped in with a fluent 54. Their 72-run second-wicket partnership laid the foundation, and a 20-run over off Matheesha Pathirana all but sealed CSK's fate. Even a few late wickets couldn't stop PBKS, as they climbed to second in the table with 13 points. Meanwhile, CSK remained rooted at the bottom with just four points — officially eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight season. A New Low for the Men in Yellow For a franchise with five IPL titles and a legacy built on consistency, this marks unfamiliar territory. Back-to-back seasons without a playoff berth highlight a deeper need for introspection. MS Dhoni's men will now play for pride in their remaining games, and perhaps begin preparing for a major rebuild in IPL 2026.

A 72-run stand between Prabhsimran (54 in 36 balls, with five fours and three sixes) and skipper Shreyas Iyer solidified PBKS' control over the game. Iyer continued to take control, scoring 72 in just 41 balls, with five fours and four sixes and stitching a partnership with Shashank Singh (23 in 12 balls, with a four and two sixes). PBKS did lose wickets towards the end, but won by four wickets with two balls left.
