After SRH's win over the defending champions, their players joined the party to pay tribute to the legendary figure of MS Dhoni as they were left in awe of the love shown for the man even in the home venue of an opponent team.

SRH's Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram and Jaydev Unadkat lauded Dhoni who had the crowd on its feet once again as the whole stadium erupted in joy with "Dhoni, Dhoni" chants when he came out to bat.

"He is going down as a legend. Especially in this country, as well," said Klaasen.

"Yeah, he's still got it. He is still the legend," said Markram.

Unadkat said that everyone is a fan of Dhoni and he has got a great aura behind him.

"There is no point denying the fact that everyone is an MS Dhoni fan. He has got aura behind him," said Unadkat.

This was only the second time in the tournament that Dhoni got to bat as he scored just one run in two balls with CSK posting a challenging total of 165/5 in their 20 overs.

He headed into the match on the back of a fiery kock of 37 runs in just 16 balls against Delhi Capitals in their previous fixture

However, just like against Delhi, CSK suffered a defeat but remained in the third spot in the points despite two successive losses.

CSK's next match will be a home fixture and a jam-packed atmosphere is expected once again to welcome Dhoni at his den for the third time this season as they face the in-form Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday, April 8.
