The viral video witnesses Dhoni being greeted by his fans after he comes out of the venue. Dhoni’s attempt to hold a child in his arms doesn’t reap fruits as the latter gave the impression of ignoring the legendary cricketer’s offer.

Coming on the back of a worst year (in terms of number of runs scored) in ODIs, plentiful question marks were raised on the 38-year old Dhoni.
With the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 on the horizon, the veteran cricketer’s form had undoubtedly become a concern for the Indian team management and fans last year.
However, the advent of a new year saw a change in fortunes for Dhoni. The veteran scored three consecutive half-centuries to earn the Man of the Series award in the three-match series against Australia. In the six ODIs which Dhoni has played this year, he has scored 242 runs at an average of 121 and a strike rate of 79.86.
