On Thursday night, during CSK’s match vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), one fan breached the security at the Eden Gardens to run up to the former Indian cricket team captain, and touched his feet.

Dhoni was seen advising the fan to remain in the permitted area and not invade the playing field.

This has happened with Dhoni several times in recent years -- fans making their way right up to the middle and touch the feet of Captain Cool.

During the tour match between India A and England in January 2017, a fan had jumped over the fence at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and ran up to Dhoni, who had scored a half-century in his final match as captain of the Indian cricket team team.

Similar incidences have happened with Dhoni in this IPL and India’s series in Sri Lanka late last year.

The Dhoni-led CSK are currently on a roll, and despite their loss by six wickets to KKR on Thursday night, they remain favourites for this year’s IPL trophy.
