Noisy Delhi crowd came in to support MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni and David Warner came in for the toss and as usual, the crowd made a lot of noise every time Dhoni featured on the big screen or Danny Morrison took his name. MS Dhoni called correctly in the toss and the crowd again went mad. Danny Morrison first asked the crowd to be more loud and then he again asked to calm down in his usual fashion. In between he acted as if he was unable to hear anything, Morrison then asked MS Dhoni by using hand gestures, and MS Dhoni then also replied with a hand gesture as he decided to bat first against Delhi.
