As the high-octane 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) reached its climax, the mighty Chennai Super Kings (CSK) led by MS Dhoni emerged victorious after defeating Gujarat Titans in the final. But little did anyone know that amid the excitement of this epic battle, Abhishek Kumar, a die-hard CSK fan, would weave two opposite worlds together. Abhishek embarked on a surprising adventure – believe it or not, he watched the live-streaming of the final of the French Open while sitting in it.
Breaking all tradition, Abhishek seized the moment and watched the live-streaming of the IPL 2023 final between CSK and GT on May 29 while at the French Open game, capturing his excitement on camera. He shared the video on his Instagram handle, in which a restless Abhishek can be seen eagerly waiting for the finale to conclude. His impatience was evident, as he mentioned a slight delay in the game.
But what was remarkable was Abhishek’s heartfelt caption accompanying the video. It spoke volumes about his undying love for cricket and CSK as he wrote, “Take me out of Chennai, but can’t take Chennai out of me. Watching Roland Garros live has always been on my bucket list (Rafa Fan101), but nothing tops Cricket/CSK.
Delving deeper into the intense final moments of the match, Abhishek wrote, “Live streaming the game with a 10 second delay on 2 balls doesn’t help with a solid 20 second delay as your phone keeps ringing. I couldn’t even scream and get him out, because I would have been sent out to center court. All the French people around me assumed I had completely lost it, which I actually had. What a frickin finale, what a fairy tale ending. I have a lot to type but AAAHSHSHSJFFHD!!! That’s for later.

He concluded the post by thanking CSK and Thala, the names given to MS Dhoni by his devoted fans.
Reacting to the video, many couldn’t help but agree with Abhishek’s passion for CSK and cricket. “Might be my favorite reel from the win!” wrote one user, while another commented, “I felt that reaction.”
Another user said, “I scream!
