After Sachin Tendulkar, if there is one Indian cricketer who has a massive fan following it is Mahendra Singh Dhoni. His cricketing career is enough proof of how he took the team to a different level altogether. Children and elderly people alike love him dearly and would do anything to meet the legendary cricketer once in their lives.
One 88-year-old woman who is an ardent MS Dhoni fan was lucky enough to meet him. Khushbu Sundar, the elderly woman’s daughter-in-law took to Twitter to share heartwarming pictures of the cricketer spending time with the woman.
“Heroes are not made, they are born. Dhoni proves that. I am at loss for words for our CSK #Thala @msdhoni for his warmth & hospitality. He met my ma-in-law, who at 88, hero-worships Dhoni & cannot see beyond him. Mahi, you have added many years of good health & happiness to her life,” Khushbu wrote on Twitter.
