[Watch] Young fans wearing RCB jerseys request MS Dhoni for an autograph, former India captain's reaction

MS Dhoni is one of the most adored and respected cricketers around. He has won the hearts of cricket enthusiasts with his exemplary skills and humble demeanour. The 44-year-old is set to represent the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He will be playing under Ruturaj Gaikwad's leadership.

With just over a week left for the start of the new season, teams are busy making their preparations with the hope of lifting the coveted title. CSK have also begun their training camp, where MS Dhoni is sweating it out alongside his fellow teammates.

During a recent training session, two young fans, reportedly wearing Royal Challengers Bengaluru jerseys, requested an autograph from the former India captain. Dhoni's heartwarming reaction has earned massive praise on social media.

In a video that went viral on the internet, Dhoni can be seen asking the young fans which jersey they are wearing. The legendary wicketkeeper-batter had a wry smile on his face. He eventually gestured to the fans that he would come to them later.

The five-time champions will look to bounce back strongly after finishing at the foot of the table last season. They will have captain Ruturaj Gaikwad back in the mix after he missed a major part of the tournament last year. CSK have assembled a strong squad, which has a fine mix of youth and experience.

The Men in Yellow will start their campaign on Monday, March 30, as they lock horns with inaugural champions the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Fans are waiting with bated breath to witness Dhoni back in action after almost 12 months.
