Before the inauguration of this match, singer Arijit Singh, Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia and South’s famous actress Rashmika Mandhana gave an excellent presentation.
All these three stars added to the thrill among the fans who came to see Matt on the ground with their performance before the start of the match.
However, in the meantime, a video is also going viral. WGujarat captain Hardik Pandya has become so proud of the captaincy that Captain Cool does not even like to shake hands with Dhoni (MS Dhoni). You can guess it yourself by watching this viral video.
Hardik Pandya Did Not Shake Hands With MS Dhoni
In fact, after the performance of the three stars, the anchor called BCCI Chairman Jay Shah, BCCI President Roger Binny and IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal on the stage. After the arrival of these 3, he first called the Chennai team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni onto the stage, followed by the Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya. However, Pandya was caught on camera doing a shameful act during this time.
Hardik Pandya has become so obsessed with captaincy that he has forgotten to respect his senior players. A video of this is also going viral. In the viral videos, leaving MS Dhoni, Hardik went to shake hands with Jay Shah, Arun Dhumal and Roger Binny.
But, before all of them, Dhoni stood on the stage. But, he considered shaking hands with Dhoni and went straight to shake hands with the rest of the members. After this bad act, Mahi fans look very angry with him.
