Chennai Super Kings (CSK) may have stolen the match from the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), but it was MS Dhoni’s daughter Ziva who stole the hearts at Eden Gardens on Sunday.
Imran Tahir spun a web before Suresh Raina found his form back with a half-century as the yellow army inched closer towards another playoff qualification with a five-wicket victory over Dinesh Karthik’s men in an IPL match on Sunday.
After Tahir’s career-best 4 for 27 restricted KKR to 161 for 8, CSK coasted to the target in 19.4 overs as Raina anchored the chase with an unbeaten 58 off 42 balls with seven fours and a six. Ravindra Jadeja also played an important cameo hitting 31 off 17 balls to pave the way for his side’s seventh win in eight games.
After the match, MSD took his daughter Ziva for a walk on the ground. The little princess was seen having a great time as she joined the CSK players in celebrations.
Ziva was seen re-presenting the ‘Game Changer Award’ to Imran Tahir and giving a lesson on ‘how to wear your cap’ to Dwayne Bravo.
When you receive your award once again and get to learn how to wear the cap yellovingly! #WhistlePodu #Yellove #KKRvCSK 🦁💛 @ImranTahirSA @DJBravo47 pic.twitter.com/nquXsFTiR8

Perhaps the best moment of the evening was Ziva giving a kiss to ‘Chinna Thala’ Raina as MSD looked on.
May even more #yellove shower upon thee! 🦁💛 #WhistlePodu #KKRvCSK pic.twitter.com/Pr4Xu4A1Qk
