WATCH: MS Dhoni gracefully accepts gift from a lucky fan on the occasion of his birthday

As the Thala turns 42 today, MS Dhoni is a popular topic on all social media channels. MSD, who made his India debut in 2004, played for India for 15 years and retired as one of cricket’s most admired and revered players. On the occasion of the former Indian captain’s 42nd birthday, fans have been using social media hashtags to share pictures and videos of him.

Fans gathered outside his Ranchi farmhouse on his birthday to ensure that it was celebrated in the same manner as any other event. Some supporters-built cut-outs as well, and those who were unable to do so made sure to make the CSK captain thoughtful gifts. One fan group, however, was fortunate because MSD met them in person and gave them a warm welcome. Mahi received their thoughtful gift and posed for pictures holding it.

These individuals enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet the birthday boy. A supporter is seen giving the wicketkeeper-batter a piece of art in a video that was shared on social media by his fan group. Dhoni also carefully examined the magnificent artwork before humbly posing for photos with the supporters. A few supporters were chanting Dhoni’s name throughout the exclusive contact, and the cricketer waved and looked in their direction.
