Former Indian opening batter Aakash Chopra slammed a user on X for misrepresenting the visuals on the social media platform regarding the IPL 2025 game between the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. Taking to X, Chopra blasted the user for collecting engagement by wrongly putting the visuals.
In a video shared on X, the user named Kushagra claimed how Aakash Chopra said 'Ab chakka bhi aaya hai' when MS Dhoni made his arrival to the crease. Kushagra had captioned the video, stating 'No way Akash Chopra said this' and the clip has been going viral on social media.
With chakka used in Hindi as a derogatory term to describe eunuchs, the 47-year-old was clearly unimpressed.
The cricketer-turned-commentator hit out at the user, saying:
"Six maarne ki commentary ko arrival visuals par chipka do…views/engagement badha lo. God bless you, Kushagra."
MS Dhoni's batting position comes under massive scrutiny
Meanwhile, Dhoni's batting position came massively under scrutiny as he slotted in at number nine, with the Super Kings almost having lost the contest. The former Super Kings skipper blasting two sixes in the final over and finishing at 30 off 16 deliveries further intensified debates that he should have come in much earlier.
Instead, the management had sent in Ravichandran Ashwin ahead in the order and he made 11 off eight deliveries. The Royal Challengers' 50-run victory is also their first against the Super Kings at Chepauk since 2008.
