WATCH: Fan running towards CSK dug-out to touch MS Dhoni’s feet

MS Dhoni is one of the most loved and admired cricketer, not just in India but across the globe. During Thursday’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, we witnessed another episode of how much MS Dhoni means to his fans.

During CSK’s innings, Dhoni was in a conversation with coach Mike Hussey in the dug-out area. A fan ran towards the dug-out area and reached straight to Dhoni’s feet. As always, Dhoni touched the fan’s head before the security personnel took him away.

Here’s the clip of the incident.

MS Dhoni has one of the biggest fan-following in India. This is not the first time Dhoni had to deal with such an incident. A few weeks back, during Super Kings’ match against Rajasthan Royals, a fan ran into the middle to touch his MSD’s feet.

Fandom cuts across city or team loyalties. See the support @msdhoni enjoying at the Eden Gardens. Beauty of the @IPL #KKRvCSK
