Though he has been a great cricketer on-ground, what sets him apart from the rest is his kind heart. For so many years now, Dhoni has been winning our hearts not only on-ground but also off the ground with his kind gestures.

5. When MS Dhoni’s heart-touching gesture for a specially-abled fan left the Internet teary-eyed
While sharing the pictures with MS Dhoni, this special child mentioned: “Feeling of meeting him is something I can’t put in words, he is kind, sweet & soft spoken. The way he asked me about my name spelling, he shaked my hand & when he said “RONA NAHI” & wipe my tear it was a pure bliss for me. ❤ He said “THANK YOU” to me for his sketch & said “MAIN LE JAUNGA” & the words he spoken to me will be remembered by me forever. ❤ He gave me his precious time was something I can’t express through words. When I said him “AAP BAHUT ACHE HO” his reaction was priceless. 31 MAY, 2022 will be special for me forever. ❤♾ – Lavanya Pilania (#msdiantillidie )
