JOIN USMahendra Singh Dhoni gifts an elated Jos Buttler his 200th IPL match jersey
It was not a good night for Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He was playing his 200th IPL match and the Chennai Super Kings needed a win to stay alive in the race for a spot in the IPL play-offs. Unfortunately, CSK ended up with a big loss as the Rajasthan Royals romped home with a seven-wicket win. And Jos Buttler remained unbeaten on 70 runs off 48 balls for the Royals.
Buttler, however, had another reason to celebrate.
Buttler is known to be an avid Dhoni fan. And 'Captain Cool' decided to make his admirer happy by gifting him his 200th match jersey. The gesture evoked a beautiful smile from the England wicket-keeper batsman.
