Former Indian skipper and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend MS Dhoni has an immense fan following all over the world, which is no more a secret. However, a fan in the United States of America (USA) paid a rather unique tribute to Dhoni, by getting a number plate with the former Indian skipper’s name written on it.
Quite understandably, the CSK team were left amazed and they tweeted a photo saying, “Aaah, so the legendary Soppanasundhari is now in LA!”
