NEW DELHI: Humility is the foundation of all good virtues and Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for his humility and down to earth nature, despite his superstar stature and immense fan-following across India and abroad.
The former Indian captain is known to back youngsters and let them take centre stage with the trophy when they celebrate a tournament victory be it in international cricket or in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
In a video that is going viral, Dhoni has shown another side of his humble and down to earth nature.
The video shows Dhoni onboard a flight with his wife Sakshi and an airhostess readying a plate full of chocolates, dates and other eatables to offer to the former India captain.
