CHENNAI: 'Thala' MS Dhoni has a huge fan following and fans do the craziest things to display their loyalty to the legend. In such a display of loyalty a man paid Rs 64,000 for him and his three daughters to watch MSD in action at MA Chidambaram Stadium. In an interaction with a local media, the man said he bought tickets from the black market for Rs 64,000 to watch his hero in action at least one time and also admitted that he was yet to pay his daughters' school fees.
"I don't even have money to pay my daughter's school fees. But I want to see MS Dhoni's batting at least once in my life. All three of my children were brought to the stadium to watch the game," the man said. When Dhoni came out to bat, he could be seen jumping with joy at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium.
The man's revelation sparked heated discussion on social media, with many speaking against him.
In the match, Kolkata Knight Riders batted first and scored 137 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Chennai won by three wickets in 17.4 overs. Dhoni faced just three balls in the match and remained unbeaten with one run.
