In a 2 minutes 20 seconds video posted by Focused Indian, he said, “When I saw him, I tried to surrender. I raised my hand in delight and chased him. Mahi bhai said ‘I am trying to have fun here’.”
“I went mad. I touched his feet. He is a legend, I had tears in my eyes. He asked me why I was breathing heavily. I had jumped the fence, ran onto the pitch and I was breathing heavily. I told him about a problem with my nose.”
The fan also told Dhoni that he wanted to meet him before his nose surgery. To which Dhoni replied, “Woh main sambhal lunga. Teri surgery ka mai dekh lunga.”
On the security appraching towards them, Dhoni told him, “Tujhe kuch nahi hoga, tu ghabara mat. Mai tujhe kuch nahi hone dunga. Yeh log tujhe kuch nai karenge.”
