Dhupia, who has acted in several Bollywood movies, and other B-Town celebs, including her husband Angad Bedi, Kareen Kapoor Khan, and John Abraham, were seen celebrating Dhoni's masterclass from the stands from MI's corner. Sharing the highlights on Instagram, Dhupia captioned the post:

MI vs CSK was one of the biggest spectacles of IPL so the fans and Bollywood stars ensured they didn't miss out on watching MS Dhoni put on a show for possibly one final time at Wankhede in what is rumored to be his last IPL season.
The venue holds a special place for the Ranchi-born cricketer as he led India to the 2011 ODI World Cup with a match-winning six in the final here.
MS Dhoni's 20 runs turns out to be the difference in MI vs CSK IPL 2024 showdown
MS Dhoni's 20 runs proved to be the difference as defending champions CSK beat MI by as many runs in their IPL 2024 encounter on Sunday.
Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad reserved special praise for Dhoni following the victory. He said in the post-match show:
"The young wicketkeeper scoring those three sixes helped us a lot, that proved to be the difference. We needed those 10-15 extra runs for this kind of venue."
Dhoni, who relinquished his captaincy ahead of IPL 2024, recently hit an unbeaten 37 runs off 16 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC), including three sixes and four boundaries. The 42-year-old will next be seen in action when CSK play against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Cricket Stadium on April 19.
