On Saturday, April 5, Chennai Super Kings locked horns against Delhi Capitals at the Chepauk Stadium. Unusual moments went viral on the internet, where the camera spotted MS Dhoni's parents in the stands.

1.Vansh Bedi The 22-year-old is a great prospect and is a like-to-like replacement for MS Dhoni. Bedi, who is also a keeper-batter like Dhoni and was bought for 55 lakhs. Notably, Bedi had an exceptional Delhi Premier League. Lets's look at his stats.
