Gambhir was a part of the 2011 World Cup side that lifted the crown under the leadership of Dhoni. Gambhir was one of the key members of the squad and he was the star in the 2011 final against Sri Lanka. 

In the past, there have been several rumours about rift between the two. It was even more important for fans to see the duo happy in each others company. 

Meanwhile, this is the first time in the history of the IPL that CSK has lost their opening two games. CSK registered their highest score at the Brabourne Stadium in the IPL. Their previous best was 180/2 against Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2010.
