MS Dhoni, the former skipper of team India, is one of the most loved cricketers and his fans are absolutely crazy for him.
In the third and final T20 against New Zealand when the hosts were batting, a fan of MSD breached security, came running on the ground towards Dhoni and touched his feet. The fan was also carrying an Indian flag and while he bent down to touch Dhoni’s feet, the flag touched the ground. As the Indian cricketer saw the flag touching the ground, he picked it up instantly.
As the video of the same goes viral, fans are going gaga over this patriotic gesture of Dhoni and showering praises on him on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

The guy who was trying to keep the flag at Dhoni's feet, complete idiot. Fine, you follow Dhoni but did he forget it was a national flag?? Dhoni smart enough to quickly snatch it💙.

Meanwhile, India lost the T20 series to New Zealand by 2-1 after the hosts won the final T20 match by 4 runs. Colin Munro was the Man of the Match while his opening partner Tim Seifert was declared Man of the Series as he scored 139 runs in the 3 matches at an average of 46.33 runs. Dhoni was not able to play a big innings in this match as he managed only 2 runs in 4 balls before getting out.
The New Zealand tour of the Indian team gets over with this match and now India will be playing against Australia in the home series.
