Former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has been off the cricket for quite some time now, will return to action in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. He announced retirement from international cricket in 2018 but still has a massive loyal fanbase all over the world.
Recently, a video went viral on social media in which the two-time World Cup winning skipper can be seen singing an autograph on the back of a T-shirt of a fan, on roadside. The video was shared on Twitter by a user with the account name - 'Dhoni Empire'. The exact location where the incident happened is yet to be confirmed.
