MS Dhoni has time and again showed plenty of class on and off the field and Saturday the former Indian captain showcased it yet again. During the India vs New Zealand 3rd T20I, a fan carrying the Indian flag breached security in Hamilton, ran to Dhoni and touched his feet. The 37-year-old saw the Indian flag touching the ground, and quickly took it away from the fan and gave it to a security personnel. Dhoni’s brilliant gesture went viral on Twitter, sending fans into a frenzy.

The incident happened when a fan paced to the ground and ran straight to Dhoni, who was keeping the stumps. Armed with an Indian flag, the delighted fan went down on his knees, then touched Mahi’s feet and handed him the flag before being taken away by the authorities.

The highlights of the incident were aired during the second innings while India was chasing, leaving the commentators foxed.

A fan tweeted a video of the incredible moment.
