After entering the frame from behind, Dhoni is seen running alongside the kids only to lift Tahir's son and run back to the finishing line

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni rarely betrays emotions on the field regardless of the match situation, but this time the story was different when MSD joined teammates Imran Tahir and Shane Watson's sons for a playful run at the Chepauk. In the video posted by the franchise, the 37-year-old was in a playful mood after CSK attained a convincing win over KXIP on Saturday. After entering the frame from behind, Dhoni is seen running alongside the kids only to lift Tahir's son and run back to the finishing line. "Jr. #ParasakthiExpress and Jr. Watto having a sprint face-off and a lightning joins them! Priceless!" CSK wrote on the team twitter handle. "ParasakthiExpress picks wickets and runs! #Thala picks Jr. #ParasakthiExpress and runs!" mentioned another tweet, leaving the social media buzzing with activity.

It is well-known that MSD is comfortable around kids and his videos with daughter Ziva often go viral. CSK scored 52 runs in the last five overs with Dhoni finishing well along with Rayudu.. Thanks to the much-needed contribution from Mahendra Singh Dhoni (37* off 23 balls) and Ambati Rayudu (21* off 15 balls), CSK made a good total (160/3) to defend  against Punjab.
