South Africa legend Makhaya Ntini sings 'Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Me' with Ashwin when asked about CSK fans!

Former Chennai Super Kings and South Africa bowler Makhaya Ntini still fondly remembers his fans in India, especially the CSK faithful.

Ntini played for CSK in the IPL for two seasons and still has a special place for the Yellow Army in his heart, as a recent video has revealed.

India just concluded the South Africa tour after the two-match Test series. Ravichandran Ashwin was part of the squad and he caught up with Ntini during a match. The duo played together with CSK in 2008-09 and were instrumental for the franchise.

In a video that's circulating on social media, Ravichandran Ashwin can be seen asking Ntini to send a message to his CSK fans.

"That's for the CSK fans, you can say Hello to them," Ashwin said.

And in reply, Ntini quite astonishingly started singing a popular Hindi song. He was seen exclaiming first and then started singing "Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein....Khayal Aane Aane (originally Khayal aata hain)", which literally means 'Sometimes I think about you in my heart'.

Makhaya Ntini Singing Hindi Song for CSK Fans

Although Ntini's pronunciation was a bit dodgy, full marks to the South African legend for that jovial song as he was on tune. Emotions were oozing out of him while singing as Ravichandran Ashwin was in splits beside him. The South African pacer continued his musical work and thanked Ashwin for the interaction.

Ntini played 9 IPL matches for CSK and picked up 7 wickets in those matches, including a hat-trick against Kolkata Knight Riders.

India finished the South Africa tour on a high after winning the 2nd Test match in Cape Town. Team India won the match within one and a half days as it went down as the 2nd shortest Test match in the history of the game.
