In the video, shared widely on social media, Dhoni can be seen surrounded by excited fans as one supporter requests an autograph on his bike and then on his hand. Instead of simply signing, Dhoni asks with a smile, “Nahi tum batao, kaise karna hai?” (“You tell me how I should do it?”) before carefully writing his signature as instructed. The fan’s reaction, a mix of disbelief and joy, perfectly sums up how much the moment meant to him.
