The IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 30 was intense, with RR clinching a thrilling 6-run victory. However, two off-field moments grabbed attention after the game—MS Dhoni’s heartfelt gesture towards Rahul Dravid and Nitish Rana’s unexpected musical performance in the RR dressing room.

Dhoni’s Warm Gesture: Checking on Dravid’s Injury

After the match, MS Dhoni and Rahul Dravid shared a touching moment on the field. A viral photo shows Dhoni checking in on Dravid’s health, likely discussing the foot injury that has sidelined the former Indian coach. Dravid suffered a leg fracture while playing a local match in Bangalore just before IPL 2025. Rajasthan Royals even shared this special interaction on their Instagram page.

Nitish Rana Turns Singer in the RR Dressing Room

Meanwhile, inside the Rajasthan Royals dressing room, there was a different kind of entertainment. Nitish Rana, who played a key role in RR’s victory, took the mic and sang the song "Mahaul Pura…" in front of none other than Rahul Dravid. The moment was met with loud cheers and applause from teammates.

For those unaware, Nitish Rana has a Bollywood connection—he is related to superstar Govinda as his cousin-in-law. Rajasthan Royals also shared a clip of this fun moment on Instagram, adding to the post-match buzz.
