NEW DELHI: Mahendra Singh
Dhoni presented his signed jersey to Chennai Super Kings and pacer Mustafizur Rahman in a heartwarming gesture. Mustafizur shared the special moment on social media, posting a photo with Dhoni and expressing his admiration for the legendary cricketer.
"Thanks for everything Mahi bhai. It was a special feeling to share the same dressing room with a legend like you. Thanks for keeping faith in me everytime. Appreciating your valuable tips, I will remember those things," Mustafizur wrote.
"Looking forward to meeting and playing with you again soon," he said.
The left-arm pacer Mustafizur has left the CSK camp for international duty.
CSK currently hold the fifth position on the points tally.
After playing 10 matches, they have five wins and five losses, a total of 10 points, in the season so far.
CSK's head coach Stephen Fleming also termed Mustafizur's absence as 'dissapointing'.

With a low score to defend, Fleming was impressed with the commitment and performance shown by English pacer Richard Gleeson.
"Richard Gleeson was good, and it was a positive. Losing Fizz (Mustafizur Rahman) is disappointing.
"Tushar (Deshpande) has a bit of flu going around as well. So, we've had to make a few changes, which is unusual. Again, that's part of it, and we have got the resources," he said.
"Just they haven't had the game time to be really comfortable with their roles and us to be comfortable with a game plan, which we're struggling a little."
