Guess who was in the house at Edgbaston in Birmingham during the first ODI between India and England on Tuesday? It was everyone’s beloved and former India captain MS Dhoni.
However, it wasn’t just his presence that thrilled cricket fans, instead it was his heartwarming interaction with a young fan seated beside him that quickly grabbed attention.
Broadcast cameras captured Dhoni sharing a light-hearted moment with the child, who was enjoying the match with a box of popcorn. The former skipper was seen asking the youngster to share some with him.
Many joked about how fortunate the young fan was to be sitting next to one of cricket’s greatest icons.
