Actors Tamannaah Bhatia and Rashmika Mandanna, as well as Arijit Singh, the top playback singer in India, were present for the tournament’s grand opening ceremony. Dhoni and Hardik Pandya, the captains of both teams, entered the stage following their performance to take pictures with the Indian Premier League trophy. Arjit made a sweet gesture toward the former India captain as the singer patted his feet.

As soon as he hugged Arjit, Dhoni was taken aback by this act as well. Since then, this video has gained a lot of online popularity. Watch:

Gill earlier broke Ruturaj Gaikwad’s magnificent half-century as Gujarat Titans won at the venerable Narendra Modi Stadium to start their title defense.

Gaikwad hit 92 off 50 balls before the Titans, who chose to bowl first in front of a nearly full stadium in the largest cricket stadium in the world, reduced Chennai Super Kings to 178 for seven in the middle overs.

Gill, who has been in the best shape of his life over the last three months, scored 63 runs off just 36 deliveries to lead the home team to a victory. Titans finished the game in 19.2 overs.

“There will be dew, as we all knew. We could have utilized the batting ship a little more. Ruturaj (Gaikwad) is a joy to watch and is superb at timing the ball. How he exercises his options I believe it’s crucial for young people to step up, “In the post-game presentation, Dhoni stated.
