Earlier, Dahani had met Dhoni before the India-Pakistan match but from a distance.  A Pakistani journalist had posted a video of the interaction between MS Dhoni and Shahnawaz Dhani on Twitter.  An elated fanboy Dahani, who was excited to meet his hero, called Dhoni from afar and said, "You are Dhoni, I am Dahani."

Dhoni, who had retired from international cricket after 50-overs World Cup, is currently with the national squad as a mentor for the T20 World Cup. Dhoni was seen spending a lot of time with the players of Team India during their preparations. India have to play their next match in the tournament against New Zealand on October 31.
