Former India skipper MS Dhoni got yet another huge reception when he walked out to bat at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore for the 2nd T20I against Australia. He walked in the middle after the dismissal Rishabh Pant, who got dismissed after scoring just one run. This is not the first time he has got such a warm welcome at a stadium, it happens with him wherever he goes where it is in New Zealand or in India.
There is no doubt regarding the fact that Dhoni is one of the most loved cricketers of India and enjoys a huge fan following wherever he goes. Ever since his international debut, he has been one of the crucial cogs of the Indian team. He contributes with the bat and is lightning fast hands behind the stumps which makes him an asset for the Men in Blue. Here is the video of his reception in Bangalore:

The Bengaluru game could be Dhoni’s last T20I game. It could very well be his last as India does not have any more T20I fixtures before the World Cup. The upcoming 2019 ICC World Cup has been considered to be Dhoni’s final international assignment. He has served the country for more than a decade and has taken the cricket to greater heights.
