Let us take a look at five such instances where MSD won the hearts of people through his kind gestures.

The Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings both had terrible IPL seasons. Both teams struggled a lot. MI had the worst season according to their standards. The Mumbai Indians had many young players in their camp and certainly, looking at their team performance, they felt dejected at times.
To their surprise a sweet gesture came from none other than India's most successful captain, MS Dhoni. After their match against MI at Wankhede, MS Dhoni was seen signing a few MI jerseys. He interacted with young players and motivated them.
This sweet gesture by MSD Dhoni won many hearts on social media, especially those of MI fans.
2. When MSD greeted a special fan
The incident took place when India was playing the West Indies in a limited-overs series. The final match of the series was set to be played at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. A fan who had come to watch the match was sitting in his wheelchair and was a big Dhoni fan, and when the legendary wicketkeeper came to know about it, the he came down and met him. Dhoni spoke to him briefly, and during that time, the fan kissed Dhoni on his hand as a goodwill gesture. Dhoni also gave him a signed photo frame and jersey too.

5. Making the day of an 8-year-old fan
MS Dhoni and his CSK team were travelling from their hotel to the stadium for their practice. Outside the hotel, there were many fans gathered to have chance to see their favourite cricketers.
While the team was entering the Team Bus, MS Dhoni a saw beautiful sketch of him from one fan. It turned out that sketch was made by 8 year old girl who had come along with her mother to meet MSD.
MSD called the security personal and told him to get that sketch. After getting the sketch, Dhoni signed it himself and wrote an inspiration yet heart touching note for that young fan and he made sure that signed sketch reach to that fan safely.
