This user, however, had a different take on this event. “Actually they supported Dhoni by wearing his jersey when he came to bat. After he got out, they removed it and changed to an RCB jersey.”

Supporting the person’s claim, another added, “You can see that he is already wearing RCB underneath and then must have worn CSK jersey and removed, either for content capturing or for Dhoni.”
