Fulfilling the desire of a young groundsman at the stadium, the former skipper obliged him for selfie during a practice session ahead of 3rd T20 match against England.
India and England cricket teams practiced hard at the nets ahead of the third and deciding Twenty20 international match.
Dhoni stepped down as the captain of India's limited overs captain on January 4 this year to make way for young Virat Kohli.
Dhoni's decision came as a bolt from the blue for the cricketing world.
India will go for the kill even as an angry England alight at the Garden City with fire in their bellies, setting the stage for a tantalising series-deciding 3rd and final Twenty20 International on Wednesday (Feb 1).
Dhoni will come in to bat at No. 5 in the final T20I against England. He was the top scorer in the first game but failed to take hosts past 150 in Nagpur.
The Ranchi batsman would once again be required to do the finisher's job for the team and fans would hope him to explode.
Dhoni is looking more relaxed ever since he stepped down as the captain of limited overs format, earlier this month.
The most experienced T20I player in the side will keep giving his valuable suggestions from behind the stumps.
A 4-0 triumph in a five-match Test rubber was followed by a 2-1 win in Virat Kohli's maiden assignment as ODI skipper, and the Delhi dazzler would look to translate that result into the shortest format also and conclude what has so far been a hugely successful winter on a high.
