MS Dhoni, one of the most successful captains that the Indian cricket has cherished, continues to rule the hearts of fans even after handing over the reins to Virat Kohli. In the Vijay Hazare trophy quarter-final between Vidarbha and Jharkhand, a fan jumped over the wall and rushed to touch his feet while he was at the crease. This was undoubtedly the highlight of the day as the legend obliged with his autograph. The fan walked out with arms in the air in a manner of pride and excitement.
This is not a one-off incident for MS Dhoni. The man is treated like a god in the cricket-loving country and fans worship him, and pay their respects by touching his feet. Never has he disappointed his fans.
In January 2017, a similar incident was reported when another fan breached the security fence and raced to the captain to touch his feet. The extremely humble Captain Cool always thanks his fans for their unconditional love and respect. Watch the video below.
In the quarter-final match, whenever a wicket fell, fans shouted for Dhoni to come to the crease and bat, but the Jharkhand skipper knew that other batsmen needed to get the exposure and learn to play their parts. When he finally came, he entertained the crowd with his batting display and ended the match with a six to take his team to the semi-finals.
