Twitterati took a trip down the memory lane as picture of MS Dhoni's reunion with Gujarat Titans coach and mentor Gary Kirsten was shared by the franchise on social media ahead of its IPL 2023 opener against Chennai Super Kings. Notably, Kirsten was India's head coach in 2011 when the MS Dhoni-led team had won the ODI World Cup -- the nation's first since the 1983 title victory. While Kirsten's tenure in the role ended with India's triumph over Sri Lanka in the summit clash of the event, Dhoni continued to lead the Indian side. Slowly and graduallly, Dhoni started stepping down from the role of captain across formats before he retired from international cricket in 2020.
