There is no doubt that MS Dhoni is one of the finest cricketers the world has ever seen. While he having a great touch with the bat and behind the stumps, he on Tuesday during the second innings of the Nagpur ODI against Australia witnessed a fan invading the pitch to greet him which quite normal but this time captain cool decided to something out of the box.
Dhoni being Dhoni, did something which left the fans inside the stadium and those watching on television in splits.
Instead of standing and letting the fan meet and hug him, Mahi decided to have a bit of fun with him. As the fan tried to catch him, Dhoni went around hiding behind players and then ran away from the fan so that he couldn’t catch him. What ensued was a running contest between the two, which ended when both reached the pitch and Dhoni allowing the fan to seek his blessings.
