The Match no. 53 of the Indian Premier League saw some brilliant knocks from Faf du Plessis & KL Rahul. But, the match eventually turned out to be a one-sided affair when KL’s superb 98* took them home in their last league match of the tournament.

Although, it wasn’t a great day for MS Dhoni & Men on the field but what made the day at the end of this game was Deepak Chahar’s proposal to long-time girlfriend Jaya Bharadwaj.

Not only did the teams & franchise shower blessing to this new couple, but even fans flooded social media to shower some praise to the 29-year-old pacer.
