Watch: Mumbai Fans Super Excited For MS Dhoni's Wankhede Stadium Re-Entry
Mumbai Indians will be squaring off against their old rivals Chennai Super Kings in their next match on Sunday in Mumbai.
Mumbai Indians stunned everyone with their big seven-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous IPL 2024 match. Beginning their new era under captaincy of Hardik Pandya, the five-time champions had a shaky start to their IPL 2024 campaign as they lost three consecutive matches. However, they got back on track with two back-to-back wins against Delhi Capitals and RCB. MI will now be squaring off against their old rivals Chennai Super Kings in their next match on Sunday in Mumbai.
Ahead of the mouth-watering clash, a heartfelt moment was witnessed outside the Wankhede stadium. Hundreds of fans gathered and surrounded CSK's team bus, in hope of getting a glimpse of the star players, who were entering the stadium for their practice session.

The fans were seen running and excitedly jumping while welcoming the visitors to their ground. This brilliant gesture by the Mumbai crowd totally showed the crazy fandom of MS Dhoni and CSK, even in an away match.
Talking about MI's match against RCB, Suryakumar Yadav (52) and Ishan Kishan (69) provided the fireworks with the bat after Jasprit Bumrah's magical five-wicket haul as Mumbai Indians pummelled Royal Challengers Bengaluru by seven wickets.
"I have never seen someone dominating like the way Suryakumar does. Unbelievable. Where do you bowl to him? I am so glad I am not playing cricket now. At this age, where do you bowl to this guy?
"He has got an answer for every ball you bowl to him, whether it's wide yorker, bouncer. He can play sweep, pull, upper cut and I don't what else he can play. He is a different kind of a player," Former India spinner Harbhajan said on Star Sports.
On the other hand, CSK also defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match by seven wickets.
