Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made a great comeback in the Indian Premier League yesterday after beating defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a high-scoring match at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium.

Chasing a target of 211, LSG won the match by 6 wickets after some splendid knocks by skipper KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni. Badoni and Lewis smashed 25 runs off Shivam Dube in the 19th over to reach the target with ease.

After the match, players and coaching staff of both the teams were seen catching up and interacting with each other. But what caught everyone’s attention was the moment when CSK wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni and LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir greeted each other on the field. Gambhir and Dhoni’s interaction left their fans nostalgic about the time the two had played together.
