For the first time on the field, Dhoni was sometimes seen in a happy, sometimes sad mood. When 10 runs were to be scored in the last 2 balls, Dhoni was in tension. When Jadeja recovered from that tension, the expression on Dhoni’s face changed. There was happiness on his face now. This happiness was of a champion, perhaps that’s why when he hugged Jadeja, lifted him in his lap, his eyes were moist.
When Dhoni met his support staff. Met the rest of the players of the team even then his face was seen telling a different story. He met the players of Gujarat Titans, even shook hands with the top officials of BCCI. Dhoni was meeting everyone as if this was his last IPL.
