MS Dhoni surprised one and all when he traveled from Jharkhand to Kolkata in a local train with his teammates, for a Vijay Hazare trophy match at Eden Gardens. Images of Dhoni travelling in a train went viral on the internet and all hailed his simplicity.
During his stay in Kolkata, Dhoni met his old ‘chai wall’ friend and his gesture once again touched his fans. He is a tea-seller and has a stall at Kharagpur railway station; when Dhoni was a TTE in Indian Railways, he would always drop in to his stall and have conversations with him.
As soon as Dhoni saw Thomas standing outside, he immediately recognized him and hugged him tightly. Not only this, Dhoni also took him for a dinner and reportedly was very happy spending time with his old buddy.
Very soon the picture got viral and we could see the happiness on his Thomas’ face, who met his old buddy after 13 long years. Dhoni has time and again proved that he is a very down to earth person and he very rarely carries himself as a celebrity.
