New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra had an impressive run in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and his form played a major role in Chennai Super Kings acquiring his services in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Auction. Since the auction, the CSK fanbase has embraced the cricketer as their own and he recently had a heartwarming moment with an ardent fan. In a video going viral on social media, a CSK fan approached him with a placard that had pictures of major cricketers who have played for the franchise. Ravindra quickly stepped out of the car and signed the placard for the fan.
