Cricket is no less than a religion in India. The sport enjoys massive fan following so much to the extent that cricketers are looked upon as Gods. One such cricketer who has certainly gone beyond the realms of the ordinary not only through his sporting achievements but also by the way he has carried himself on and off the field is the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni. Even though it has been over three years since Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket and four years since his last international game, there has hardly been any dip in his popularity.
A recent video of a fan girl getting emotional upon seeing him has gone viral on social media. In the recent video, the fan gets so sentimental that she gets a bit teary eyed and touches the feet of Dhoni who seemingly tells her to shake hands instead.
Take a look at the video here:
Meanwhile, Dhoni was last seen in action plying his trade for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL. He, in fact, led the Men in Yellow to their record-equalling fifth title in May this season. Dhoni was struggling with a knee injury throughout the season but did not miss a single match. Soon after the tournament was over, he underwent a surgery in Mumbai.
Even though there were speculation that this might be Dhoni's last season in the IPL, after leading the Men in Yellow to their fifth IPL title, the wicketkeeper-batter said that he would like to return for yet another season in the league as a way of saying thank you to his fans who turned out in large numbers as the tournament returned to its traditional home and away format this season.
