Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni was seen enjoying a light-hearted moment in his interaction with IPL’s latest tech marvel, a robotic camera dog, after the side broke their five-match losing streak in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. The robot, resembling a GoPro mounted on four agile legs, is a part of IPL’s new tech initiative to provide fans with never-before-seen behind-the-scenes content.

In a moment that had the commentators in splits, Dhoni approached the robot dog and gently nudged it, knocking it off its feet. The robotic canine couldn't get up on its own, prompting laughter from the commentary box. Later, Dhoni was seen warmly shaking hands with the robot and engaging with it in his trademark composed manner. So taken was he by the gadget that he ended up carrying it back with him to the dressing room. Before the start of the match on Monday, Dhoni was spotted taking a brief break from warm-ups to engage with the robo dog. The former India captain appeared visibly amused, offering a gentle pat to the bot as it mirrored the gesture.
