“I went mad. I touched his feet. He is a legend, I had tears in my eyes. He asked me why I was breathing heavily. I had jumped the fence, ran onto the pitch and I was breathing heavily. I told him about a problem with my nose."

The fan also told Dhoni that he wanted to meet him before his nose surgery. To which Dhoni replied, “Woh main sambhal lunga. Teri surgery ka mai dekh lunga. (I will take care of your surgery)."

On the security approaching towards them, Dhoni told him, “Tujhe kuch nahi hoga, tu ghabara mat. Mai tujhe kuch nahi hone dunga. Yeh log tujhe kuch nai karenge (Nothing will happen to you, don't worry. I will not let anything happen to you. These people won’t do anything to you)."
