It is a well-known fact by now that the mood within the Chennai Super Kings franchise is all fun and frolic, and Harbhajan Singh has given a hint of it.

Many players in the CSK camp disclosed it is the closely-knit atmosphere in the dressing room responsible for their success this season.

A renowned prankster in the Indian team, Harbhajan, recently took a jibe at Brendon McCullum’s ramp shot he played against Mumbai on Tuesday night by comparing it with the famous stance of Gura in the Bollywood movie, Lagaan.

“Who did better ?? Lagaan is back now in the colourful kit …it’s on TV everyday 8 to 11.30 on @StarSportsIndia,??” tweeted Harbhajan Singh.

It is also due to the variety of innovative shots played during the tournament by the likes of Rishabh Pant, Krunal Pandya and many others.
