Gautam Gambhir took on Twitter to congratulate MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings for winning their fifth IPL title after the team defeated Gujarat Titans on Monday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Former Indian cricketer Gambhir, a teammate of MS Dhoni during the 2011 ODI World Cup, termed CSK's fifth title win a "Unbelievable" achievement.
However, fans on social are speculating that Gambhir took a dig at Virat Kohli and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who have failed to win a single IPL title in his tweet. (Orange Cap Winner Shubman Gill To Virat Kohli; Top 5 Batters Of IPL 2023 - In Pics)

Virat Kohli Vs Gautam Gambhir Inside Story: How Old Baggage Led To Another Bust-Up
